Today on the DesignCoach: French Periods, Number One
French design influence did not stop at the “Empire” period, however, it did bring to a close over 400 years of royal patronage that fueled the rapid and ever changing beauty and extravagances of the French royal court.
Over the next two weeks DesignCoach will highlight major divisions of French influence (see Interior Design and Decoration by Sherrill Whiton):
1. Early Renaissance (1484-1547) Reigns of Charles VIII, Louis XII, and Francis I. A transitional period. Mixture of Gothic structural forms with Italian Renaissance architectural detail and ornament.
