The Geometry of Antiques
Don't be a fashion victim in your own home! Understanding the basic structure of any antique lets us coordinate them with our personal aesthetic. This lecture, Geometry of Antiques, is a new way of seeing antiques from their structural perspective and their style. This approach is derived from Aurélien Guillory's "Four Factor Formula" which talks about people's personal preferences about light and color, pattern and texture.
Aurélien has categorized antiques into geometric angles and curves; and baroque or organic.

As a general point of view, people who appreciate contemporary furniture will be more comfortable with antiques with angular shapes. On the other hand, more traditional people who like flowers and Country English or French style, will feel more comfortable with curvy baroque shapes. Aurélien will present line drawings of the various styles and will identify their category. He will also present various rooms in houses that illustrate these principles. People will be able to diagnose themselves to find the most harmonious antiques for their personality and home. The lecture is taken from Aurélien's forthcoming books.
