If the eighteenth century was characterized by the outbidding of curves and curves of the Louis XV style, it ended, as if by reaction, with a craze for straight lines which made a big comeback.
Thus, through the eternal pendulum effect characteristic of fashion, this renewal of straight lines is a return to the classic style, hence its name of “neoclassical” style.
In this regard, this chest of drawers, from the South West of France, excels by its sobriety. Its neoclassical style is reflected by grooves on the uprights, “sheath” feet and the molded projection on the front which creates relief.
