This historical period includes a first phase that can be properly defined as the Louis XVI style.nOnly at a later time, with the maturation of archaeological fashions, was a new vision of furnishing civilization formulated and codified, now fully attributable to the Neoclassical Style.
In fact, both trends coexisted in unison until the last years of the eighteenth century.
nIn the field of cabinet making, the Directoire, Retour d'Egypte, Consular and Empire styles also fall within the neoclassical era.
