Additional Information

Style: Rococo (1730-1770)

Rococo is an ornamental style that developed in France in the first half of the eighteenth century as an evolution of the late Baroque.
It is distinguished by the great elegance and sumptuousness of the shapes, characterized by branched undulations in curls and light floral arabesques.
They are expressed above all in decorations, furnishings, fashion and the production of objects.
The term "rococo" derives from the French rocaille, a word used to indicate a type of decoration made with stones, rocks and shells, used as embellishment of garden pavilions and caves.
Rococo was born in France in the second twenty years of the 18th century, under the reign of Louis XV.
Characterized by delicacy, grace, elegance, joyfulness and brightness, it stood in stark contrast to the heaviness and stronger colors adopted from the previous Baroque period.
Rococo motifs seek to reproduce the typical feeling of the worry-free aristocratic life or light novel rather than heroic battles or religious figures.
Towards the end of the 18th century the Rococo will in turn be replaced by the neoclassical style.

Main essence:

Brazilian Rosewood

It is a hard, light blond wood, but with strong red and pinkish veins, which is obtained from tropical trees similar to rosewood. Its veins are reminiscent of striped tulips, which is why it is called tulipwood in English-speaking areas. It is used for inlays, often combined with bois de violette. In the 1700s and 1800s it was highly appreciated and used in France and England for precious veneers. It gives off scent for decades if not centuries after curing.

Rosewood

Under the term Rosewood various exotic, hard and heavy woods have been united, characterized by a color that varies from pink to violet. Their origin is usually from Latin America, India and Africa and are still considered very valuable woods. Until the end of the eighteenth century, this name also referred to the bois de violette . In general, rosewood woods began to be imported into Europe starting in 1750 and were first used for veneers and inlays in England, flanked, by contrast, with lighter woods. Later, entire valuable furniture was manufactured both in England, mainly in the Regency style, and in France, starting from the Neoclassical period.

Chest of Drawers Neoclassical Walnut Italy XVIII Century

Italy Last quarter of the 18th century

Lombard neoclassical chest of drawers veneered in briar walnut with borders in bois de rose and violets, Italy, last quarter of the 18th century. On the front, the three drawers as well as the sides are framed by a relief frame, highlighted by the uprights where the pilasters have a third order of projection that outlines the architectural character of the piece of furniture. On the sides as on the frote, thanks to the flush drawers with retractable chain, we find reserves in walnut briar inlaid in boxwood and maple, with floral and phytomorphic motifs arranged circularly and vase elements. On the frames of the reserves are Greek inlaid with successive leaves and on the uprights motifs with sloping discs. Feet in a jar. Top in Bardiglio gray marble replaced, restorations. The piece of furniture presents in the taste of the inlay and in the arrangement of the same, different points of contact with the work of Mortarino both in the furniture attributed to him and in the certain ones; to this example the inlaid motifs on the uprights are reflected in the side borders of the two Mantuan dressers. See Enrico Sala, Maggiolini & Co.
