Rococo More Lighting

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.

Pair of Silver Candlesticks or Candleholders, Possibly González Téllez, Antonio
By Antonio González Téllez
Located in Madrid, ES
Pair of candlesticks. Silver. Possibly González Téllez, Antonio; Valladolid 1777. With contrasting and engraved marks, and engraved shield and legend. Pair of silver candlesticks in their color with a circular base of edges combining curves and counter curves and a series of moldings that end in the axis of the piece, which maintains helical lines towards the upper part throughout all the shapes and moldings that compose it, accentuating the movement created with this combination. At the base, you can see a heraldic shield engraved on each one, accompanied by the word "Ravago" in capital letters. Topped by a helmet facing to the left, the shield features a castle or tower surrounded by three fleursde-lis pointing outwards. The accompanying text makes us inevitably remember Francisco Rábago y Noriega (Tresabuela, Cantabria, 1685 - Madrid, 1763), also known as Francisco de Rávago y Noriega, or Francisco Rávago, a prominent Spanish ecclesiastic and Jesuit, confessor real of Fernando VI, personal friend of Pope Benedict XIV and the Marquis of Ensenada, and professor at the University of Valladolid. However, it should be noted that there are other people at that time with the same surname. The contrast marks place the piece in Valladolid, and relate it to Antonio González...
