Louis Philippe furniture plan

[Mario Brissette]

I'm looking for plan or a book that describes the Louis Philippe style. I searched on amazon, google, and also here in the forum but my searches were unsuccessful. If someone here have a link to a web site, or a ISBN number of a good book to buy, I will appreciate ! Thanks all.

here is that style below :

No answers confirm me that this style is not very popular !!! :eek:

If I find something, I'll post you here for the benefit of the forum.

Maybe it would help if we knew more about what you are looking for. Do you simply like the furniture in the picture and want to make some? When you refer to "Louis Phillippe" I assume you mean the model name of the current manufacturer and not the French king or the current French singer/songwriter? If you mean the French king, the furniture styles he would be associated with would be empire and directoire, or the American equivalent federal.

Tom Pritchard, thanks for these links. These images will help me to make my own plan if I don't find any.

Tom Jones III, You are right, I want to do my furniture like the picture I previously post. This style is named because of the French King. But you really help me, I didn't know that "empire" and "directoire" were synonyms to "Louis Philippe".

Thank you both of you ! :)

Wow! Apparently I have a piece of Louis Philippe style furniture. I have that exact same bed. Wait until I tell my wife.;)

[Mario Brissette]

Mike Cutler,

I don't know if all sleigh bed are from Louis Philippe style, but if yours is very similar to the one in my picture, it is probably a Louis Philippe style.

Mike Cutler,

I don't know if all sleigh bed are from Louis Philippe style, but if yours is very similar to the one in my picture, it is probably a Louis Philippe style.

Mario. It is an exact replica, down to the color. I could take the measurements from my bed and you could recreate the bed in that picture exactly.

[Mario Brissette]

Thanks for the proposition of taking the measures Mike but I'm interested in everything but the bed ! :eek:

LOL

My girlfriend doesn't like a "sleigh" bed but she likes the other Louis Philippe furniture. And if a girl said that, we must listen !!! :D
