Most pieces of furniture from the Baroque era date from the period between 1670 and around 1750. Starting with strict but pompous forms, Baroque furniture developed into playful pieces of furniture with numerous curves and magnificent fittings by the middle of the 18th century. Baroque chests of drawers mostly date from the period between 1720 and 1750 and feature multiple curved fronts and veneer marquetry. Baroque tables and chairs feature lavishly curved legs, the lower ends of which end in volutes or animal hooves. Towards the end of the Baroque period and the Rococo period, the curved legs of tables and chairs merge into the frames in a single sweep. Baroque cabinets are usually disproportionately large by today's living standards, as they originally stood in castles. Heights of 2.40 to 2.60 meters are not uncommon for baroque cabinets.

Pair of 18th-century architectural fragments
Located in Rio De Janeiro, BR
This pair of 18th-century architectural fragments captures the elegance and craftsmanship of colonial-era decorative art. Originally part of a larger structure, these wooden fragments showcase intricate carvings, likely once embellishing a grand interior space with their distinctive style. Each piece features a graceful, fluted column-like design with scrolling volutes, adding a sense of movement and refinement that reflects the baroque influence prevalent during the period.
The patina on the wood speaks to the age and authenticity of these fragments, with a natural wear that enhances their character and historical charm. Delicate foliate motifs can be observed near the top, subtly incorporated into the design to evoke a sense of organic beauty. The unique curvature and details would have made these fragments a highlight within their original architectural setting.
These fragments are versatile in their potential uses today, making them ideal as decorative pieces in various settings. Whether mounted on a wall or displayed on pedestals, they serve as striking reminders of 18th-century artistry and add a sense of historical grandeur to any space. Perfect for collectors of architectural antiques or those seeking to bring a touch of old-world charm into their interiors, these fragments stand...
