FRENCH
During the
reign of Louis XV, interior decoration, including frame design, came to the
forefront. The styles of the time reflected more curves and circles
replicating scrollwork and swags used in interior design and artwork.
When Louis XVI became King in 1774, his reign marked a return to the
classics - the Neo-Classical period. Designs during this time became
simpler, with straighter lines and more symmetry; colors used were lighter
in tone; and ornamentation became more delicate.
Concerto's French style frames by Larson-Juhl authentically replicate the
exquisite patterns and ornamentations of these various times. The
elegant gilding and soft patina on these frames come together to bring you
fine finished corner frames with French style. By
Larson-Juhl.
