Rococo Commodes and Chests of Drawers

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.

Extraordinary Polychrome Paint Decorated Venetian Rococo Bombe Commode C1870
Located in Swedesboro, NJ
This extraordinary Venetian Rococo bombe commode, dating to circa 1870, is a true masterpiece of Italian decorative arts. Lavishly polychrome paint decorated, the commode features a beautifully aged palette of soft aquamarine, cream, and gilt highlights, adorned with exquisite hand-painted floral motifs across its bombe-shaped drawers, sides, and top. The graceful Rococo form, with its curvaceous silhouette and cabriole legs, perfectly captures the opulence and romance of 18th-century Venetian design while showcasing the artistry of 19th-century craftsmanship. The commode’s three spacious bombe drawers are richly detailed with scrolling gilt accents and ornate hardware, providing both elegance and practicality. The top surface is equally striking, featuring a central floral bouquet framed with scrolling cartouches, making this piece a stunning focal point in any room. Its distressed patina enhances its authenticity, reflecting over a century of refined European taste and charm. Ideal for a collector of antique Venetian...
