Louis XVI

King Louis-Auguste reigned in France between 1774 to 1793. The Louis XVI style was a return to classicism looking to Greek and Roman culture for inspiration. Characteristics of this style were architectural ornamentation, classic symmetry, geometric marquetry,decorative escutcheons, small mechanized elements, and the predominant use of mahogany with linear gilt bronze mounts that emphasized veneers. Decorative motifs such as garland swags, horns of plenty, vasiform shapes, olive leaves, and cone finials were common and often referencing historical styles.

Acanthus

Acanthus, also called Bear’s Breeches, is a stylized leaf that is native to the Mediterranean. The acanthus leaf motif was first used in classic Greek and Roman architecture, specifically in the design of Corinthian columns and pillars. Today, the acanthus symbolizes longevity and immortality of the soul.
