Rococo Furniture

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.

18th Century Sèvres Covered Bowl Made in 1764
Located in Katonah, NY
WHY WE LOVE IT: Who wouldn't? Sèvres* made the finest French porcelains. We are delighted to offer this hand-painted Sèvres soft-paste porcelain bowl decorated with exquisite flowers and leaves. The detailed painting is extraordinary. Notice the leaves which each have several gradations of green and individual highlights of yellow, orange, or light blue. Royal blue and gold decorate the foot of the bowl and the handle which is in the form of entwined branches. The rims are gilded along both the outside and inside edges. The edge of the cover is gilded in a simple dentil pattern. Sèvres is a particularly documented factory. Painters and gilders were allowed to add their ‘mark’ on pieces they worked on in order to identify themselves. Many of these painters and the pieces they worked on are noted in factory records now held in the archives at Sèvres. The underside of this bowl is marked with an interlacing L’s mark in blue, with date letter ‘L’ for 1764, and artist’s letter ‘G’, for Gremont. Up until the 1770s Sèvres porcelains (like our covered bowl) were soft-paste. On Sèvres soft-paste porcelain the painted colors sink into the porcelain whereas on later Sèvres hard-paste porcelain the colors sit on top of the porcelain. Hard paste is also glassier than soft paste. Another special characteristic of this Sèvres piece is the small hole that appears on the inside of the foot rim. Its purpose was to allow for expansion and contraction during the firing. This is typical of 18th century Sèvres...
