  • The second half of the 19th century was a period when the revival of the styles of the past was in full swing in Europe, reaching its peak before the end of the century
  • This trend was dictated by the wealthy bourgeoisie who wanted splendour, luxury, opulence, and comfort in their interiors
  • The ideal style for fulfilling these requirements was Rococo, which is one of the most popular revived styles
