An effect of luxury is important to these styles and can be created with the use
of pattern and color rather than just expensive materials. Combine strong fabrics and accessories, leaving wall colors more subdued, terracotta offset by cream or pale shades of blue or gray, white and gold rooms flatter the charming, rather whimsical furniture of the Rococo style. Rich fabrics such as velvets, heavy silks, damasks. Woven designs of flowers, pastoral subjects and animals will blend well. Also embroideries and tapestries. Gilded and painted furniture. Window treatments should be elaborate with swags, drapes and valances. Ornate mirrors, hang portraits in elaborate gilt frames. Accents with roses in formal arrangements. Music choices for these romantic styles .... Faure's Pavanne for Orchestra, Debussy's Clair de Lune, Chopin's Ballades, Preludes and Nocturnes and Johann Strauss II's Viennese Waltzes |

A helpful glossary of relevant French words and phrases is also includeds. This is a new and welcome guide to the charming and distinctive provincial furniture of France. Marie-Antoinette and the Last Garden at Versailles Marie-Antoinette has been idolized as the height of eighteenth-century French style and vilified as the spark that ignited the French Revolution. This book departs from such traditional interpretations of the infamous queen’s reign and chooses to reflect on the humanistic aspects of her private realm. To escape the formalities and royal obligations of Louis XVI’s court, Marie-Antoinette created a private realm of pleasure for herself at the Petit Trianon and Hameau, where she planted the first Anglo-Chinese garden; created a trysting grotto; a working farm; and revolutionized architecture and gardening trends for the century to come. Marie-Antoinette’s entire private domain and its story are told in beautiful photographic detail by François Halard for the first time since its recent restoration and accompanied by well-researched texts by garden expert Christian Duvernois. |
