1715 – 1730

Regence

This is a transition period (1715 -1730) in French history, the country being ruled temporarily by the regent Philippe d’ Orléans on behalf of the under-aged King Louis XV. The emphasis gradually shifted towards a more refined style. The pomposity of the baroque style gave way to lighter, more delicate and playfully refined forms of decoration. This would lead to what would become the frivolous Rococo Style, under King Louis XV.
