History Of Interiors Test 4 Practice

Which chair is Louis XV? Based on the middle features, identify the middle option.

Left, large proportions Right, straighter lines Middle, curved legs and ormolu details on top Center, minimal ornamentation

Correct Answer:

Middle, curved legs and ormolu details on top

Explanation:

Louis XV furniture is defined by Rococo elegance: sinuous curves, light, graceful forms, and lavish decorative details such as gilt-bronze ormolu. The middle chair embodies this with its cabriole legs that curve outward and inward, and a crest or top rail adorned with ormolu details. These curved lines and ornate embellishment are hallmark features of the Louis XV style, signaling the period’s emphasis on comfort, movement, and decorative richness. In contrast, a chair with large, heavy proportions and straight lines reflects a different taste, and a chair with minimal ornamentation aligns with more modern or Neoclassical aesthetics. So the middle chair best fits Louis XV.
