Baroque furniture

baroque furniture from our store are made of solid wood with deliberately ostentatious carvings, as in the past. This style characterizes the Louis XV furniture of this period. In the fine arts, the term baroque describes a rather complex idiom, originating in Rome.

It is an art that flourished in the 16th century. It developed in painting, sculpture, music, architecture as well as furniture. In particular, the desire of the Catholic Church to reassert itself in the wake of the Protestant Reformation. It was therefore at this time that many religious buildings and royal palaces adopted this style. By creating finely detailed frescoes and architectural models. These creations can be discovered at the Cathedral of the Incarnation in Granada. But also at Ettal Abbey or Scönbrunn Palace in Vienna.

The Rococo style was a fashion for ostentatious style. Which affected all areas in the 16th century, and in the centuries that followed, but not today. Indeed, the barroco in Portuguese is less and less in vogue with regard to architecture in general. On the other hand, it has remained a timeless style in terms of layout and decoration.

Baroque style furniture

Furniture from the Baroque period originally had curved legs and feet. Chests and cabinets with inlaid wooden panels were also very popular. Cabinetmakers mainly used oak, walnut, chestnut and ebony. Much of the ornamentation was made of rosewood and sandalwood. But in some rarer pieces of furniture tulipwood and other exotic woods were used.

Le baroque furniture was covered with a colorless varnish to ensure that the structure of the wood remained clear and visible. Because, in the majority of cases, the baroque furniture are made from the finest quality wood. Armchairs and dining chairs can be upholstered in fabric or leather. Over time, however, other styles of furniture began to appear. One notable style of Rococo furniture is the style in which the wood is painted with a gold finish. This style was extremely popular in palaces and mansions. They served as a symbol of the owner's wealth and prosperity.

Another equally remarkable style was the style where the wood was worked with a type of cracked nuggets. It does not give the furniture to be in the same rococo style, in a very uneven way. Often the cracked finish is white, but sometimes it is also made in gold. The furniture is often seen as used only in antique buildings. But nowadays, many modern designers have rediscovered the style and use it in their creations. Consoles, armchairs or baroque chairs in modern colors can also be used in a style interior.
