Baroque Mirrors

BAROQUE STYLE

The decadence of the Baroque style, in which ornate furnishings were layered against paneled walls, painted ceilings, stately chandeliers and, above all, gilding, expressed the power of the church and monarchy through design that celebrated excess. And its influence was omnipresent — antique Baroque furniture was created in the first design style that truly had a global impact.

Theatrical and lavish, Baroque was prevalent across Europe from the 17th to mid-18th century and spread around the world through colonialism, including in Asia, Africa and the Americas. While Baroque originated in Italy and achieved some of its most fantastic forms in the late-period Roman Baroque, it was adapted to meet the tastes and materials in each region. French Baroque furniture informed Louis XIV style and added drama to Versailles. In Spain, the Baroque movement influenced the elaborate Churrigueresque style in which architecture was dripping with ornamental details. In South German Baroque, furniture was made with bold geometric patterns.

Compared to Renaissance furniture, which was more subdued in its proportions, Baroque furniture was extravagant in all aspects, from its shape to its materials.

Allegorical and mythical figures were often sculpted in the wood, along with motifs like scrolling floral forms and acanthus leaves that gave the impression of tangles of dense foliage. Novel techniques and materials such as marquetry, gesso and lacquer — which were used with exotic woods and were employed by cabinetmakers such as André-Charles Boulle, Gerrit Jensen and James Moore — reflected the growth of international trade. Baroque furniture characteristics include a range of decorative elements — a single furnishing could feature everything from carved gilded wood to gilt bronze, lending chairs, mirrors, console tables and other pieces a sense of motion.

Pair of mirrors. Carved and polychrome wood. Spanish School, 17th century.
Located in Madrid, ES
Pair of mirrors. Carved and polychrome wood. Spanish School, 17th century. Pair of wall mirrors, each with a rectangular frame and a prominent frame made of carved, polychrome, and gilded wood. These elements are arranged symmetrically, divided into two areas: a thin band with leaves on the inside and a wider one on the outside, with scrolls, acanthus leaves, volutes on the outside, protrusions on the sides, a finial at the bottom, and a helmet-shaped crown, more heraldic than royal due to its details. This one has also been decorated with lines of pearls and an elaborate composition based on simplified plant motifs on a dark background, recalling the bluing common on this type of piece when they were made of metal and royal. One of the helmets faces right, the other left. This crest features a neck guard and a single-piece neck guard, a lowered visor ending in a point, a nape of the neck (which would have been used to accommodate a crest or crest), and, despite not having a wreath, its features are what separate it from royal closed helmets, helms, bascinet, and snouts. Compare, for example, with the Italian cuirassier helmet...
