Baroque Antiques

Baroque defines a period of greatness in art, literature and architecture. During this period, art and furniture pieces used to be ornate, theatrical, and dramatic, combining exuberance with grandeur. Famous masters and painters, including Rubens, Velazquez, Caravaggio, and Rembrandt, expressed dramatic human emotions through their masterpieces. Baroque art is about great drama, intense light and dark shadows, rich, deep colors and strong emotions, making it a treasured art expression among collectors. Most of the furniture of this period was made from rare, imported woods like rosewood, ebony and tortoiseshell. From gilded cabinets and crystal chandeliers to fancifully ornamented lamps, most Baroque-style objects feature mythological scenes, floral patterns and intricate motifs.
