The collection embraces the drama and embodies the regality of eighteenth century, Louis XV-era Versailles. The design draws inspiration from Louis’ most fashionable mistress, Jeanne Antoinette Poisson, better known as the Madame de Pompadour.
Jonathan Charles’ team of artisans handcrafted each piece with custom hardware and detailing. The collection’s large furniture pieces create truly palatial focal points for a variety of spaces – from château-inspired country homes to eclectic city lofts. It comprises of mirrors, sofas, beds, tables and chairs.
The Louis XV French-Style Bed and Gilded Empire Sofa make chic allusions to aristocratic France, while the Louis XV Footstool and Empire Angel Chairs take a more subtle approach to history. These handcrafted works of art epitomize Jonathan Charles’ authentic approach to antique reproduction.
The Versailles Collection accessories give aesthetic leeway to the modern design palate. They can be versatile enough to serve as referential statement pieces in eclectic spaces or as rich adornments that fill the gaps of entirely “period” homes.
The Carved & Gilded Bracket Console Tables are light and unobtrusive against a foyer wall, while the equally-intricate Rococo Style Mirror provides visual weight and aesthetic focus above a delicate vanity. The stately “Winged” Dressing Mirror is a stunning conversation piece for an office or dressing room, while the textural Stepped Demilune Console Table gracefully “bookends” a sofa.
