Antique Furniture Sleep Story - History of Furniture, Styles, Show and Tell (ASMR)

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).
