Style: 

Transition The Transition style corresponds to the first part of the Louis XVI style in French furniture, it  makes the transition (hence its name) between the novelty and originality of the Louis XV  style, and the return to the classical inspiration of the Louis XVI style.  In the second half of the reign of Louis XV and at the very beginning of the reign of Louis XVI  this style is characterized by the abandonment of curves and movement of the Rocaille in  favor of straight lines, purified and symmetry.
