- Light and air line with asymmetrical decor, somewhere even with an obsessive pattern - these are the main characteristics of the Rococo style, which in some ways resonates with Baroque.
- The style, born in contrast to the lush rococo-classicism, is characterized by a more functional approach to furniture making, simple, straight lines, symmetry and elegance.
- Empire style furniture is characterized by clear and strict lines with antique decor( sphinxes, lions, ancient shields and spears), this is the so-called palace furniture that adorned the throne of the ruler of the XVIII century.
- Modern style emphasizes the ecological compatibility of furniture and its floral ornament with ornate wriggling lines. This style combines straight-line pragmatism with curved lines.
- Modern seamlessly flows into art deco, which characterizes elegance, simplicity of lines, the combination of rounded corners and zigzags, precious tree species and exclusive finishing materials( snake skin, crocodile leather, velvet).This furniture was decorated with rooms in chic hotels and liners, and until now this style is very much appreciated by antique dealers, although hardly more than a hundred years have passed since its creation.
