On Plate XVI., No. 3, is shown a portion of a _console d’applique_ of carved wood painted in gray _céladon_, dating from the end of the Louis XIV. period, the two scroll feet joined by a stretcher, the side supports swelling into the bust and head, the front curved rail having in the centre a cartouche with a woman’s head enclosed with the skeleton C (a broken scroll freely used later), and the acanthus. The head at the side supports is adorned with plumes and flowers. The screen is met with in nearly every room. Sometimes it consists of several leaves, and again it is in the form shown on Plate XVII. Sometimes the tapestry, or the leather, or damask, or whatever material is used for the covering, is garnished with gold braid and fringe, or it is tacked to the frame by means of gold nails, as shown in the above example. The mirror is far more generally used than in the former reign. It is seen in every home and in every room. Its frame is carved and gilded and in a variety of designs. A characteristic example is shown on Plate XIII. We may know what furniture was considered necessary for a room by the following information from inventories between 1675 and 1700: One set of furniture consisted of a bed, four _fauteuils_, twenty-eight folding-stools, a screen and a table-carpet of embroidery on a gold background depicting the history of Moses. Another set consisted of a bed, three _fauteuils_, eight folding-stools, two table-carpets, two cushions, a screen, a daïs and wall-hangings. The material for these decorations was velvet branches of bright amaranth on a silver background, combined with another material of cloth-of-silver with little flowers of amaranth. The bed, which was 6½ feet long and 7½ feet high, comprised three valances, four curtains, four _cantonnières_[12] and three lower valances, all of the velvet; while the three outside valances, the sheaths for the two bed-posts, and the _couverture de parade_, and the linings of the curtains, were of the cloth of silver with amaranth flowers. The whole bed was trimmed with gold and silver braid, and on the top of the canopy were four _pommes_ with bunches of mixed feathers, probably white and amaranth. Another set of furniture was of red satin and white taffeta in squares, and ornamented with gold braid and gold fringe. The pieces comprised a bed, three _fauteuils_, twelve folding-stools, a table-carpet, a screen and a square cushion. The bed was 7 feet high and 6 feet wide; its three valances, four _cantonnières_ and three lower valances were of the red and white taffeta embroidered with gold, while its four curtains, head-board, interior hangings and two posts were covered with gold brocade. We also learn of a set comprising a bed, three _fauteuils_, six chairs with backs, twelve folding-stools, a daïs and a _chaise de commodité_ of blue velvet, ornamented with gold and silver braid and fringe.
