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 woods such as mahogany, maple, ash, lemon and cherry.
- Inlays of precious woods and fine marquetry.
3. Typical furniture:
- 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.
