Chest of Drawers Swedish Rococo Light Wood, Sweden

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.

L'Hiver (Winter) Engraving Print, After Antoine Watteau
By Jean-Antoine Watteau
Located in Bradenton, FL
Elegant antique Engraving entitled L'Hiver (Winter), after a celebrated composition by Antoine Watteau (French, 1684-1721), one of the most influential painters of French Rococo art. The engraving artist is N. de Larmessin. The scene presents a classical garden landscape animated by gracefully dressed figures sheltering from winter weather. The composition is rich in detail: aristocratic figures gather near monumental architecture, urns, and bridges, while bare trees and wintry skies signal the season. Below the image, the French inscription reads "Engraved after the original painting by Watteau, 5 feet high and 8 feet wide", From the Cabinet of M. de Sullimne. Paris, near Freilisi". This inscription confirms this is an authorized reproductive engraving, made directly after Watteau's original painting. It documents the original painting's dimensions, a common scholarly practice in 18th century French prints...
