18th Century Rococo Chairs Sweden
About the Item
A pair of rococo chairs made in Sweden about 1765. The model are provincial and unique. The carvings on the top is typical for the Rococo period with the shell shaped form.
The word Rococo is derived from the French word rocaille, which denoted the shell-covered rock work.
In the Rococo style, walls, ceilings, and moldings were decorated with delicate interlacings of curves and countercurves based on the fundamental shapes of the “C” and the “S,” as well as with shell forms and other natural shapes. Asymmetrical design was the rule. Light pastels, ivory white, and gold were the predominant colours, and Rococo decorators frequently used mirrors to enhance the sense of open space.
