Baroque Textiles
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 Fortuny Textile Pillows
Located in Los Angeles, CA
These Fortuny pillows feature a stunning example of the brand’s signature hand-printed textile artistry. The design showcases a grand, classical motif that includes a floral urn overflowing with stylized blooms, framed by ornate scrollwork and architectural flourishes. This composition suggests a Renaissance or Baroque influence, often found in Fortuny’s archive patterns.
The color palette is particularly rich: a terracotta or burnt sienna red pattern is printed over a muted taupe or stone-gray background, creating an earthy yet regal look. The raised design offers texture and dimension, with a soft sheen that catches the light beautifully.
The pillows are finished with a contrasting neutral cord trim and rust linen backs, which frames the textile with a tailored, sophisticated edge and subtly picks up tones in the print.
This pattern may be part of Fortuny’s “Dandolo...
