French Furniture, Clocks & Lighting
At Arrowsmith Antique & Interiors we stock a variety of decorative French antiques ranging from mantel clocks, chandeliers and chest of drawer commodes, from the 18th century through to the 20th century.
The reigns of Louis XIV, Louis XV, and Louis XVI lasted from 1643 to 1793. French design during this era is characterized by ornate bronze gilt mounts and marquetry inlaid furniture. Louis XV introduced curved, softer shapes, while Louis XVI favoured more elegant forms and Neoclassical styles. Notable makers and designers from this period include Andre Charles Boulle, Jean Berain the Elder, and Jean Henri Reisener. In the 19th century, furniture continued to draw inspiration from these royal reigns, maintaining a high standard of craftsmanship.
