18th Century Rococo armchairs

About the Item

A pair of high class rococo armchairs made in Stockholm. This type of armchairs with loose back plate were made in the Castle workshop. Front legs are decorated with acanthus leafs and the front top and bottom with rocailles. The word Rococo is derived from the French word rocaille, which denoted the shell-covered rock work. In the Rococo style, walls, ceilings, and moldings were decorated with delicate interlacings of curves and countercurves based on the fundamental shapes of the “C” and the “S,” as well as with shell forms and other natural shapes. Asymmetrical design was the rule. Light pastels, ivory white, and gold were the predominant colours, and Rococo decorators frequently used mirrors to enhance the sense of open space.
