It was in fact in the work of metalworkers such as goldsmiths and bronzesmiths where we see the best expression of Regence furniture design. Gilt mounts composed of assymetrical scrolls, shell designs, and floral motifs predominate. By asymetrical, to spell it out, is meant that the ornamentation on either side of a piece of furniture did not match exactly, and this rather sinous, curvy, style is the forerunner to the later Rococo of Louis XV furniture.
Regence furniture is a particular favourite of antique dealers and collectors.
