Richly decorated

The rococo style was a counter-reaction to the strict classicist baroque style of around 1700. France and Italy were forerunners and provided a more light-hearted movement in the visual and applied arts. Witty, sometimes mischievous paintings, lavish churches, richly decorated palaces, gardens and elegant furniture and accessories were the pinnacle of this period. The dashing lines are the connecting factor with the Art Nouveau style. To furnish your own palace, you've come to the right place at Antique Style Webstore.

Chinoiserie

The way to socialise in the 18th century was over a cup of tea. A perfect opportunity to show off a beautiful teaset. At this time, the upper class was fascinated by exotic places. So they preferred to drink tea entirely in style. That is to say, in Chinese style. The objects were made in Europe in an idealised image of the Far East. The decorative style suits rococo interiors perfectly.

At that time, people drank tea from a cup without an ear. Originally, people even drank from the saucer, because the thin porcelain made a cup very hot. Only later did people start developing cups with an ear.

Flowers are an important part of rococo decorations. In a frivolous cushion, nature and craftsmanship come together. A cushion is lovely on the sofa or in a chair and gives the interior a warm feel.
