(Louis XIV Period) - Louis XIV style, also known as French Classicism, was thought of and intended to glorify the Sun King and his reign via the majesty and harmony of its style. Louis XIV's style consisted of three different time periods with French Classicism being the first and under the control of regent Anne of Austria. The second period was under the personal rule of the King and became more classical, ostentatious, and victorious, culminating in the building of the Chateau of Versailles. Later in the second phase of King Louis XIV’s reign, came the invention of marquetry which changed French furniture with the decoration of different colors and woods. Most famous for his creations during this period is André Charles Boulle.

(Venetian st.) - Venice is one of the most enchanting and magical cities in the world. Built on a lagoon and founded in 421, Venice was a prosperous center for trade and home to the world’s largest port and housed over 200,000 residents. Venice was known for its unique style, which inspired many trends with the incorporation of the artist’s creative spirit. Known as a city for lavish parties, gambling, and excess, Venice was a place for the European elite to see and be seen. The key to the signature Venetian style is the mixture of global influences. Decorating your home with a mixture of artwork and accessories from your own personal travels will aid in achieving the Venetian look. Elaborately carved mirrors, celestial themes, antique lamps and sconces, Venetian plaster walls, and an elegant crystal chandelier can help complete and elevate your space.
