MAC goes for baroque

MAC's latest collection, Baroque Boudoir, features a pretty damask design "etched like the fine filigree of a French
baroque settee" according to the website.  French baroque settee?!  Let's see if the pattern resembles French Baroque style at all.

French Baroque is most often associated with Louis XIV (1643-1714), who was responsible for the construction of Versailles.  Here's a pic from the King's bedroom in the famous palace – check out the wallpaper!

And here's a sofa:

While the design is nice and similar to actual French Baroque, I don't think it's quite MM-worthy so I'll be saving my pennies for the spring collections.  ;)
