During the Louis XIV reign (1643-1715), France was at the top manufacturer of luxury objects. A main factor was that the king used outstanding craftsmen to decorate the Versailles palace. To emphasize the power of the monarch the reign of the French king Louis XIV was characterized by the Baroque style. The Versailles Palace and the Louver were decorated in a strong, dramatic and exuberant style echoing the king’s strong leadership in a period of war and colonial empire building.
The French classical Baroque style was grand and impressive, a symbol of power. Baroque reached its highest zenith when it was executed on a grand scale, especially in architecture and sculpture. The Baroque is a style that used exaggerated motion, gestures and expressions to produce drama, tension, exuberance and grandeur in sculpture, painting, literature, dance and music. The style started around 1600 in Italy and spread from there to most of Europe.
The Baroque style had its origin in the Italian painting, sculpture and architecture in the decade of 1620. Characterized by decorated and complicated figures, the style reached its splendor in France, in the court of Louis 15, where the most exquisite craftsmen produced decorative arts of great wealth.
The greatness of the Baroque sculpture and architecture were reflected especially in the decorative arts and in the furniture. The style incorporated architectonic and sculpture elements, with the use of fontanels (triangular closings), heavy volutes and garlands, although also it used bulbous figures, elaborated molded, gilded and floral marquetry. Were chosen the most luxurious materials, including the velvet, the brocade and Damascus upholsteries, the semiprecious stones and ivory. The intensification of commerce between China and the West during the 17 century influenced in the style, increasing in the demands of panels and lacs furniture, specially of blue and white porcelain. The French baroque style also spread new ideas by all Europe in 1670 and 1680, by means of the production in carved ornaments
