Louis XVI style, also known as “Marie-Antoinette”, starts around 1755 along with the vogue for return to antique style, at the time of Herculaneum and Pompeii archaeological discoveries. Straight lines, understated décor, subtle friezes: the style seems bare. However, its ornaments remain flourishing: bows, pearls, ribs, roses...
This is an extremely high quality lion's head banded knocker cast from solid brass and polished to an incredible detail.
