Etiquette and Good Manners

Author: Ebru Gürgen

It began with a king who understood that beauty was power.

In Versailles, during the reign of Louis XIV, sophistication became a fundamental characteristic of the court.

One gesture could win favor, and one misstep could cost everything.

From the king's court emerged rules of etiquette that not only shaped court life but also defined the very concept of belonging.

Revolutions erupted and thrones fell, but etiquette endured, transcended borders, entered drawing rooms, and quietly set the standards of distinction in modern society.

"Etiquette and Good Manners" traces this royal journey – from palace rituals to contemporary life – revealing how true sophistication has surpassed rank and title, and even the crown.
