Types of chairs
Louis XIII — 1616 to 1643. A typically French style, in which but few traces of its derivation from the Italian remained. It was followed by the Louis XIV.
Elizabethan — 1558 to 1603. A compound style containing traces of the Gothic, much of the Tudor, some Dutch, Flemish and a little Italian. Especially noted for its fine wood carving.
Jacobean — 1603 to 1689. The English period immediately following the Elizabethan, and in most respects quite similar. The Dutch influence was, however, more prominent. The Cromwellian, which is included in this period, was identical with it.
William and Mary — 1689 to 1702. More Dutch influences. All furniture lighter and better suited to domestic purposes.
Queen Anne — 1702 to 1714. Increasing Dutch influences. Jacobean influence finally discarded. Chinese influence largely present.
Louis XIV — 1643 to 1715. The greatest French style. An entirely French creation, marked by elegance and dignity. Toward the end of the period it softened into the early Rococo.
Georgian — 1714 to 1820. A direct outgrowth of the Queen Anne, tempered by the prevailing French styles. It includes Chippendale, Hepplewhite and Sheraton, but these three great cabinetmakers were sufficiently distinct from the average Georgian to be worthy separate classification.
Chippendale — 1754 to 1800. The greatest English cabinet style. Based on the Queen Anne, but drawing largely from the Rococo, Chinese and Gothic, he produced three distinct types, viz.: French Chippendale, Chinese Chippendale and Gothic Chippendale. The last is a negligible quantity.
Louis XV — 1715 to 1774. The Rococo period. The result of the efforts of French designers to enliven the Louis XIV, and to evolve a new style out of one that had reached its logical climax.
Hepplewhite — 1775 to 1800. Succeeded Chippendale as the popular English cabinetmaker. By many he is considered his superior. His work is notable for a charming delicacy of line and design.
Louis XVI — 1774 to 1793. The French style based on a revival of Greek forms, and influenced by the discovery of the ruins of Pompeii.
Sheraton — 1775 to 1800. A fellow cabinetmaker, working at same time as Hepplewhite. One of the Colonial styles (Georgian).
R. & J. Adam — 1762 to 1800. Fathers of an English classic revival. Much like the French Louis XVI and Empire styles in many respects.
Empire — 1804 to 1814. The style created during the Empire of Napoleon I. Derived from classic Roman suggestions, with some Greek and Egyptian influences.
New Arts — 1900 to date. These are various worthy attempts by the designers of various nations to create a new style. Some of the results are good, and they are apt to be like the “little girl who had a little curl that hung in the middle of her forehead,” in that “when they are good they are very, very good, but when they are bad they are horrid.”
New Orleans - French Quarter: Madame John's Legacy
Madame John's Legacy, at 632 Dumaine Street, is the oldest surviving residence in the Mississippi Valley. The French colonial style house was rebuilt in 1788 by Robert Jones for Manuel DeLanzos, a Captain of the Spanish fixed regiment, after the fire of of the same year leveled much of the neighborhood.
The name, Madame John's Legacy, refers to George Washington Cable's famous story Tite Poulette (1873), in which the hero leaves a residence as a legacy to his quadroon mistress, who sells the building, deposits the cash in a bank, and loses it all when the bank fails. Cable used this residence as a model of the home in his story. In the late 19th-century, the house was converted into rental apartments. Today, it is part of the Louisiana State Museum, with exhibits relating the history of the house and its many owner-residents. Among them are Jean Pascal, a sea captain who built the original house on this site before being killed by Natchez Indians at Fort Rosalie in 1729; pirate-admiral Rene Beluche, who was born here and later served in the Venezuelan Revolutionary Navy; and the Segher family, whose household inventory featured four slaves, including a mulatto, valued at $2,500, and his daugher who was valued at only $1,200, because she was promised her freedom at age 30.
The architectural complex consists of three buildings: The main house, the kitchen with cook's quarters and the two-story garconniere. The buildings are separated by an ell-shaped courtyard, with the main house fronting directly on Dumaine Street. The courtyard of today was originally a work space where household chores such as laundry were done. The lot next door, now a tall brick house, was originally a formal parterre (with divided flower beds) garden in the French manner. The two-story main house, with a high, double-pitched roof and small dormers, is suppported by brick piers which rise 9-feet off the ground. A veranda, accessible via French windows from all the rooms, extends around the first floor.
