Louis XVI style

Louis XVI style, also known as Neoclassicism, emerged in the late 18th century and reflects a return to classical ideals of simplicity, symmetry, and proportion inspired by ancient Greece and Rome. It features clean lines, restrained ornamentation, and elegant details such as fluted columns and geometric motifs. This style emphasizes clarity and order, favoring timeless and balanced designs over elaborate decoration. It was popular in furniture, architecture, and decorative arts during Louis XVI’s reign, embodying a refined and understated aesthetic that conveys sophistication and clarity.
