Characteristics of the Charles X Style:
1. Simplicity and Elegance:
- The lines are generally simpler and sleeker compared to earlier styles.
- The emphasis is on functionality and aesthetics without excessive ornamentation.
2. Materials and finishes:
- Use of light woods such as maple, ash, lemon and cherry.
- Inlays of precious woods, often in contrasts, and fine marquetry.
- Buffered varnish for a smooth, glossy finish.
3. Patterns and Decorations:
- The motifs are often inspired by nature, with representations of flowers, foliage and fruit.
- Marquetry and inlays of mother-of-pearl and metals were common.
4. Typical furniture:
- Three-drawer chest with flat front and discreet pull handles.
- Small writing or book tables.
- Lightweight chairs with sculpted backs and curved legs.
- Frequent use of the gondola shape for seating.
The Charles X style is therefore a mixture of continuity with the past and simplification, offering a transition to the Louis-Philippe style that was to follow.
