 Furniture design was influenced by notable improvements in the technology of furniture making. New mechanical methods of production facilitated an enormous increase in the number of pieces being produced, many of which were inexpensive reproductions of previously hand-made and costly items. Of all the revival furniture manufactured, the 17th and 18th century French "Louis" styles, particularly Neo-rococo, were the most popular. Indeed, the curved shapes augmented with scrolls and volutes afforded that ideal combination of being luxurious to look at and easy to make. Near-Eastern-style furniture was fashionable especially after the 1860s. Typical pieces included ottomans and over-stuffed divans and couches.
