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.

Located in Forney, TX

A rare and highly refined European Baroque Period (1600-1750) parquetry inlaid papeleria cabinet - bargueño on later early 19th century stand. Dating to the early 18th century, Mediterranean Europe, most likely Northern Italy, possibly Spain or Flemish territories, this scarce high-end piece of furniture was typically reserved for only wealthy merchants and nobility, used for storing and traveling with important documents, business papers, writing correspondence, coins and valuables. Hand-crafted by a highly skilled master artisan and a reflection of the finest workshops, this tabletop cabinet features a rectangular solid wood case case crafted of quality top choice, elaborately veneered in matched geometric inlays, with intricate finey arranged round string work, precious rosewood banding, and luxurious exotic molted tortoiseshell-effect panels, adding subtle color, warmth and depth with distinct mottled blends of warm rich browns, ambers, orange and red. The portable open-front cabinet features six drawers arranged in two columns, each with hand cut dovetail joinery and mounted with the original ornate gilt bronze ormolu escutcheons, raised on bulbous feet. Resting atop a custom-made trestle base stand, executed in Spanish Baroque taste, crafted of solid walnut, having a conforming platform top finished in matching geometric veneering and banding, rising on ring-turned wooden legs, joined by decorative s-shaped black iron stretchers. Boasting a highly attractive patina, authentic wear, with antique character marks, rustic charm, and rich historical depth that can only be acquired over very long periods of time and use. This elegant, interesting, functional chest on stand is an ideal focal point in a classic old world setting or as a sophisticated contrast in modern spaces. - Dimensions: (approx) Overall: 54.25" Tall, 38" Wide, 13.5" Deep; Cabinet: 21.5"h, 35"w, 10.5"w; Stand: 33.25"h, 38"w, 13.5"d; Keywords: Similar to a coffer cassone collectors cabinet of curiosities specimen exhibition cabinet bargueno Vargueno Taquillon...
