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.

Italian Period Rococo Ornate Accent Table w/its Original Finish & Marble Top
Located in Atlanta, GA
An Italian Rococo smaller-sized carved-wood table, with its original finish and a marble top, from the 18th century. This antique side table from Italy has a beautiful marble top with curvy serpentine front, canted and bowed side corners, and shapely sides, with a flattened backside (as made to rest against a wall). It rests upon the apron with elaborately-carved frieze in a shell and floral motif, with pierced carving embellishing the front center. The knees are adorn with carved flowers with tassels, making their way down the four elongated cabriole style legs, each with carved leaves and inwardly scrolling feet which give them a paw-like appearance. The marble is older, but likely not original to the piece- but a rather skillfully done replacement. The coloring is comprised of squash and umber tones with a slightly pinkish/salmon color. The table retains its original bronze/gold and brown finish, which has a light patina but in great overall condition. This period Rococo Italian console...
