Baroque Dining Room Tables

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.

Italian White Painted Baroque Style Dining Table from Florence
Located in Dallas, TX
Carved in the Baroque style of the 17th and 18th centuries, this large dining table from Florence, Italy, has been hand-painted with a parcel paint finish. The application of the white (with gray undertones) paint is well-done, as is the distressing, which has been strategically done by hand. The highly shaped top has a two-tiered edge, with an unadorned upper section above a repeating egg and dart motif. Directly beneath the carved edges are four scrolled legs, each consisting of two thick volutes on top of each other. The bottom volutes serve as feet for the table and are embellished with a foliate leaf on the front. A sinuous X-shaped stretcher, comprised of a series of counter curves, adjoins to the back of each foot. The center noix has been adorned with a pair of abutting scalloped shells, while the rest of the stretcher has been adorned with a partial shell motif that is also seen on the sides of the scrolled legs. Our Italian white painted dining table...
