Natural wood furniture, molded and carved, was produced in large numbers during the 18th century for various uses (console, flat desk, gaming table, writing table, etc.). Provence, thanks to its warm, dry climate, favored the manufacture of natural wood furniture, whose lines are often more pronounced than those of models north of the Loire. Walnut wood was commonly used in southeastern France. It was reserved for the most refined pieces in Paris, where the few surviving natural wood furniture pieces are often made entirely of beech or a combination of beech and walnut. These were crafted by cabinetmakers for the most prestigious pieces. Few examples have survived the ravages of time. For instance, among the hundreds of natural wood furniture pieces delivered for the Crown Furniture Repository<\/a> Throughout the 18th century, only one has been identified to date. Provence and the Lyon region having fostered the production of this type of furniture, the surviving examples are more numerous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
