Download A Discussion on the Furniture of the Empire Style and the Louis XVI Period Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
Contained within this text is a detailed treatise on the furniture of the 'Empire' and 'Louis XVI' styles. Complete with information on history, popularity, manufacture, and much more besides, this text constitutes a great book for those with an interest in furniture from these periods and in historical furniture in general. Furniture under the reign of Louis XVI was elegant in its form and decoration, with much use of fluted columns, carved friezes, oak and laurel leaf wreaths, the Greek band, and other various Neoclassical attempts to imitate the artistic styles of the Romans and Greeks. The Empire style was the second phase of Neoclassicism in the early-nineteenth-century design movement - and influenced architecture, furniture, and other decorative arts. It was most prevalent between 1804 and 1814, during the First French Empire. We are proud to republish this book here complete with a new introduction on the history of furniture.

Download A Cultural History of Furniture in the Age of Empire and Industry Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
The 19th century in Western culture was a time of both confidence and turbulence. Industrial developments resulted in a number of benefits from a growing middle class to efficiency, convenience and innovation across a range of fields from engineering to architecture. Alongside these improvements, the century began with the extended period of the Napoleonic Wars and was further disrupted by rebellions and revolutions both within Europe and in India, South America and other parts of the world. Slavery was abolished and urbanization increased dramatically. These myriad developments were reflected throughout the period in the proliferation of types of furniture, along with their categorization as 'industrial art' at the international exhibitions and world fairs and the increasingly adventurous range of materials that were sometimes used in their construction. Nonetheless, a strong antiquarian/historicist strand also prompted interest in the revival of past styles in areas of art and design, including furniture. Drawing upon a wealth of visual and textual sources, this volume presents essays that examine key characteristics of the furniture of the period on the themes of Design and Motifs; Makers, Making, and Materials; Types and Uses; The Domestic Setting; The Public Setting; Exhibition and Display; Furniture and Architecture; Visual Representations; and Verbal Representations.
