It was known as the Rocaille style and soon spread to other parts of Europe, particularly northern Italy, Austria, southern Germany, Central Europe and Russia. Italy was a place where the Rococo flourished, both in its early and later phases. Craftsmen in Rome, Milan and Venice all produced lavishly decorated furniture and decorative items. The elaborate sculpted decoration frequently included fleurettes, palmettes, seashells, and acanthus foliage carved in wood. The most extravagant rocaille forms were found in the consoles, tables designed to stand against walls. --- Excellent original antique condition Detailed Condition Report: Strong, sturdy, stable, and structurally sound.
