Louis Philippe style

The style of architecture and design under King Louis Philippe I, who reigned from 1830 to 1848, was a more eclectic development of French neoclassicism that incorporated elements of neo-Gothic and other styles. It was the first French decorative style imposed not by royalty but by the tastes of the growing French upper class, drawing much of its character from the King's own unceremonious personality; Louis Philippe furniture kept the types and forms of the earlier French Restoration style but with less decoration, comfort being the primary consideration, as seen in the popular Louis Philippe commode with its marble top and marquetry covering.
