French cuisine has been a prominent part of history, influencing many meals which we love and enjoy today. Creating dining experiences for royalty was certainly extravagant even in the Middle Ages, although the range of furnishings which were popular at the time was more gothic, aspects such as carvings and arches were still apparent. In 1547 Catherine de’ Medici left her home in Italy and moved to France to become Queen. Her influence not only brought new spices, ingredients and a change to French cooking, but she also changed the way food and drink were served by bringing finer glassware and tableware into fashion. French styles evoke the deepest sense of sophistication, style and grace and have throughout history been a celebrated style for royalty dating back for centuries. As you browse our French Dining Chair Range you can see key elements of design which have been consistent throughout history.
