Rococo Corner Cupboards
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 Painted and Gilt Corner Cabinets from Italy, circa 1870
Located in Dallas, TX
These 19th century Italian, painted and gilded corner cabinets come in two pieces. The bonnets have openings at the center called broken pediments. The cabinets have beautifully scalloped frames surrounding the blown glass panels on the front and sides. The three separate blown glass panes on the front doors are divided by small, gilded, asymmetrical linear moldings having floral and foliate motifs at the center. There are also three separate glass panes on the angled side panels which are divided by small, gilded, half circle, linear moldings. The entire interior of the upper sections has been lined in red velvet with gimp to the front of the shelves. The serpentine shaped, single door, lower cabinets with angled sides are beneath a curved, stepped out section. They have gilded moldings around the serpentine tops, the door panels, the serpentine bases and angled bracket feet. There is one shelf per cabinet in the interior.
These are of typical Italian shape, inspired by subtle 18th century Italian Rococo styling. The beautiful green paint is over gesso on pine wood. Italy did not have access to many exotic woods, thus many pieces were painted softwoods. Bright and cheerful pieces such as this also have the ability to lighten rooms that may otherwise be too dark. Incredibly elegant and refined, these antique Italian corner cabinets...
