Channel: The French Whisperer ASMR

Category: Howto & Style

Description: In this soft spoken ASMR video, I tell you about the history of furniture from Prehistory to our days, with an emphasis on French styles from the 17th and 18th Centuries (Louis XIV, Louis XV and Louis XVI style). I also explain a few different techniques, like veneering, marquetry or ormolu (gilt bronze). Credits: script and narration by the French Whisperer, visuals by the French Whisperer, under Wikipedia Commons, or under web licence from Panthermedia. Music from the YouTube Audio Library for Creators (J.S. Bach, Prelude in C Major).
