The Louis XVI chair is a style of furniture that emerged during the reign of King Louis XVI of France, from 1774 to 1792. Characterized by its neoclassical design, the chair often features straight lines, geometric shapes, and elegant proportions. It typically includes a rectangular backrest, tapered legs, and can be upholstered in luxurious fabrics. These chairs are often adorned with decorative elements such as fluted columns, laurel wreaths, and other classical motifs. The Louis XVI chair reflects the shift towards simplicity and symmetry in design, moving away from the ornate styles of the previous Rococo period.
