20th Century American Rococo Seating
Fabric
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.

A Pair of Magnificent Giltwood Armchairs
Located in Brighton, West Sussex
A Pair of Magnificent Giltwood Armchairs. Each magnificent throne chair with oval padded back encircled by an elaborate cresting carved with flowering acanthus, oak branches, and fleurs-de-lis. The top rail with two putti holding an armorial star-shaped cartouche with the interlaced L's of Louis XVIII, King of France, titled ‘Bordeaux 12 Mars 1814’, beneath a crown. This armourial cartouche is the Order of the Armband of Bordeaux. The open arms with padded armrests above exuberantly carved sculptural terminals depicting dragons with human faces. The shaped seat rail with ribbon and rocaille ornament and to the front with a star representing the Décoration du Lys. On cabriole legs. Upholstered in flower pressed blue velvet. France, Circa 1820/30. These magnificent throne chairs commemorate an important event in the Bourbon Restoration precipitating the fall of Napoleon I. They celebrate the surrender of the city of Bordeaux to royal power and to King Louis XVIII (1755-1824), heralding the fall of the first Empire (1804-1815). The Duc d'Angoulême (1775-1844), nephew of Louis XVIII and elder son of Charles X, entered the city of Bordeaux to the acclaim of the crowd on 12th March 1814. Louis XVIII later called it ‘the happiest event of my life’ and on the 29 September 1820 named the heir to his throne, not—like previous Bourbon heirs—Duc de Bretagne, or de Bourgogne, but the Duc de Bordeaux. This armourial cartouche to the top rail of these chairs is the Ordre du Brassard de Bordeaux (The Order of the Armband of Bordeaux). It was adopted for the Royal Guard and volunteers who accompanied the Duc d'Angoulême when he entered Bordeaux on 12th March 1814. It was officially called the Brassard de Bordeaux, or Brassard Vert. At first it consisted of a silk band of green with white borders, worn, as the name signifies, on the arm, but was later adapted as a medal with oval gilt sunburst on which is superimposed an oval medallion of white enamel bearing the royal monogram ‘L.L.’, and surrounded by a green enamelled band with the words ‘BORDEAUX 12 MARS 1814’. The whole is surmounted by the royal crown. In 1824 the issue of the Brassard de Bordeaux was controlled by the Royal Order of...
