What characterizes the Louis XV style?
The Louis XV style, also known as Rocaille, draws inspiration from Italian Baroque and the rock motifs created in bronze and earthenware at the beginning of the 18th century. The Rocaille style, with its elegant and refined curves, developed primarily between 1730 and 1760. Designers turned away from order and symmetry in favor of whimsical curves and Rocaille elements.
