Description
By about 1870 the curves of the Rococo Revival style changed to the straight lines of the 'Marie Antoinette' style or Neoclassicism. Adapted from late 18th century forms, it was also called the Renaissance Revival. The Museums' chair shows straight turned 'mushroom capped' legs, inset mother-of-pearl.
