Rococo Mirrors
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 Giltwood Mirrors with Porcelain, Rococo, 18th Century
By Matthias Lock
Located in Madrid, ES
Pair of "cornucopias" with mirrors, nearly identical (except for details in the leaves of the frames), carved and gilded wood. Inside, the main mirror has moldings that draw curves and straight areas, volutes and other elements. The elaborate decoration of the wall mirrors is based on grotesques in the lower part, from which plant elements emerge that are prolonged, accompanied by hangings, towards the upper part by the sides, with openwork details. Above, the crests have circular spaces, flanked by birds perched with its wings partly extended, and surrounded by elaborate frames that, like the rest of the pieces, have architectural elements (scrolls, smooth oval mirrors), plant elements and shapes that remind Rococo rockery.
Clearly, the examples are included within the Rococo, counting, even with the slight asymmetry presented by the decorative motifs of the same and that slight difference between both examples. It is possible to find similarities in the design of these cornucopias with different engravings and works by Matthias Lock...

Rococo Styled Mirror in Walnut, 1740s
Located in Lejre, DK
A Rococo-style mirror from the 1740s in Denmark is a remarkable piece of antique furniture that reflects the intricacies of the Rococo design movement during that era.
Rococo is a highly ornamental and decorative style characterized by intricate details, asymmetrical forms, and natural motifs. It was prominent in the mid-18th century and often featured flowing lines, delicate carvings, and an overall sense of elegance.
The fact that the mirror is in its original condition adds to its historical value. It's a testament to the craftsmanship of the time and provides a glimpse into the aesthetics of the 1740s.
The use of walnut in the mirror's construction adds to its allure. Walnut wood was often utilized in antique furniture due to its rich color and durability. The warm tones of the walnut would have likely complemented the intricate carvings and decorative elements of the Rococo style.
A mirror like this would have been a cherished possession in its time, gracing the homes of the affluent and aristocratic. It would have been both a functional piece for checking one's appearance and a decorative item that enhanced the overall ambiance of a room.
In contemporary settings, an antique Rococo mirror...
