the stylistic periods of Régence (1715 – 1723) and Louis XV (1723 – 1774). These periods, which transition seamlessly
from one to the other, are characterized by their emphasis on curvaceous forms
and movements as well as an appreciation for vegetable motifs.
The death of
Louis XIV loosed the bonds of restraint that had wearied the whole nation. With this new sense of freedom, people sought
intimate personal comforts and informality in their physical surroundings.
This license
so freely employed under the new regime gave rise to a feverish yearning for
novelty. Asymmetry in the arts reached a
peak of expression never before seen and not to be revisited until over a
hundred years later during the Art Nouveau period at the beginning of the
twentieth century.
This age,
with a new interest in comfort and functional convenience resonates with modern
concerns today. For these reasons, as
well as others, the Regence and Louis XV periods are by far the most popular
among collectors today
