Rococo Clocks
ROCOCO STYLE
Rococo was an aesthetic movement in the fine and decorative arts in the 18th century that found its inspiration in nature and fostered an overall lightness and delicacy of form, construction and ornament in interior design. Rococo furniture, while greatly influenced by trends in Italy and Germany, is often called Louis XV style — the movement having reached its best expression during that sybaritic French king’s reign.
The term “rococo” is thought to be a portmanteau of the French words rocaille and coquilles — “rock” and “shells” — organic motifs frequently used in architecture and design of the style.
When it comes to authentic Rococo furniture's characteristics, it is above all sensuous and social. The furniture of earlier eras in Europe had been heavy in every sense; the Rococo period saw the appearance of light-framed upholstered armchairs, side chairs and occasional tables that could easily be moved to form conversational circles.
The signal detail of Rococo furniture design is the gently curved cabriole, or S-shaped chair-, table-, and cabinet-leg. It imitates the bend of a tree limb or a flower stem. In a further reference to nature, furnishings were often asymmetrical and painted white, or in soft, pastel shades. Rococo has become a timeless style, and as the furniture pieces presented on 1stDibs demonstrate, its playful, sculptural forms can provide visual excitement to contemporary, clean-lined spaces.

Antique French Rococo Brass Mantel Clock – Late 19th Century, Enamel Dial Signed Bardinot, 8-Day Bell Strike
A fine late 19th century French brass mantel clock, beautifully cast in the Rococo style with ornate foliate scrolls and decorative motifs. The enamel dial, signed Bardinot (indistinct), displays elegant Arabic numerals and finely shaped hands.
The clock houses an 8-day movement, striking on a bell, and retains its original pendulum, visible through the rear inspection door. The case is richly detailed with scrolling foliage, lattice textures, and decorative masks, all accentuated by the warm patina of the aged brass.
