Antique Rocaille Armoire
The name Rococo comes from two French words, Rocaille, meaning rock, and Coquille, which means shell. A florid style of ornamentation common from 1740, designed from rocks and shells and of Chinese origin. It followed the Baroque style and was much used by the French and by Chippendale in his adaptation of the French style in his furniture. This gorgeous example of this style is an exquisite armoire, crafted from the finest European oak. On first inspection, your eyes will be instantly drawn to the massive carving on the crown. An armoire, or wardrobe is generally a large, upright, enclosed cupboard with shelves or hooks for hanging garments, most often seen in a two-door style but also designed with four doors. Armoires are built with peg construction in such fashion as can be dismantled and reassembled. This particular piece features a large center cabinet with a full-length mirror accented on the sides by two smaller mirrors. The woodwork on this piece is some of the best we have ever seen. Look at the medallions under the accent mirrors not to mention the scalloped apron, complete with cabriole legs. By far the most outstanding feature of this piece is the opulent hand beveled mirrors. This gorgeous piece tapers near the top and is full length for ultimate versatility. You are going to absolutely love this French gem!
