Rococo Decorative Objects

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.

19th C. Venetian Green Painted Humidor Table - The Iris Apfel Collection
19th C. Venetian Green Painted Humidor Table - The Iris Apfel Collection

19th C. Venetian Green Painted Humidor Table - The Iris Apfel Collection

Located in Morristown, NJ

This charming Venetian painted humidor table exemplifies the whimsical elegance and artisanal character associated with historic Italian decorative arts. Finished in a softly patinated green ground, the table is richly ornamented with foliate scrollwork and lattice cartouche motifs, hand-painted throughout with a lively, naïve fluency characteristic of Venetian workshop production. The rectangular hinged top opens to reveal a humidor compartment, the interior now likely replaced, resting above a shaped apron with continuing painted decoration. The table is raised on slender, straight legs terminating in small feet, all retaining their original painted surface with visible age-related wear that contributes to its authentic, timeworn appeal. Decorative painting on the lid includes a figural pastoral vignette framed by scrolling reserves and latticework panels, a format frequently seen in Venetian furniture produced for domestic interiors rather than formal palazzi—objects intended to delight rather than impress through strict symmetry or academic refinement. Dimensions: 28"h x 13.5"w x 12"d Condition: Good/Fair. Expected age-related wear throughout, including discoloration, edge wear, decorative paint losses and chips, rubbing and areas of inpainting to the lid decoration. The interior of the humidor appears to be a later replacement. Wear noted to the feet. Overall structurally sound and visually engaging, with surface wear consistent with age and use. Remarks: A highly decorative and evocative piece, this Venetian painted table...

Meissen Porcelain Revelry Groups

By Meissen Porcelain

Located in New Orleans, LA

This charming pair of Meissen porcelain figures celebrates the essence of Revelry. First modeled by the renowned Johann Joachim Kändler on bases by Peter Reinicke, circa 1767, these joyous groups depict musicians making merry by playing the French horn, flute, guitar and hurdy-gurdy, and gardeners carrying flowers in baskets and aprons. Two almost identical groups are featured in Meissen: Collector’s Catalogue by Laurence Mitchell. Figures by Kändler were especially popular and served as table decorations at courtly banquets. He took the reigns of the Meissen factory in 1733 and over the following 40 years created more than 900 models, many of which were considered the most important and beautiful ever produced. Many of his designs were so timeless and classic that they continued to be used well into the 19th century. Kändler was highly regarded especially for his allegorical representations and he was certainly at his best when designing the Four Continents...
