The style of 18th century French architecture was guided by the court.

When Louis XV, who reigned from 1715-74 focussed royal life on the smaller salons of Versailles rather than its grand chambers , it transformed the aesthetics away from the imposing and angular interior architecture that that characterised the style of Louis XIV.

A broader focus on comfort and more delicate forms define the period identifying this piece as classic Louis XV.  

Immaculately restored and period original to mid 1700’s, this is a very rare find in Australia, particularly since it was almost certainly manufactured before Cooks discovery of Australia.
