These styles are characterized by opulent, highly ornate carvings, curved lines (cabriole legs), and a blend of rustic charm with aristocratic elegance.

Style: The intricate C-curves, floral motifs (like the carved roses), and scalloped edges are hallmarks of the 18th-century Rococo period, which was a lighter, more elaborate evolution of the Baroque style.

Materials: The frames are made of carved wood, which is typically a locally sourced wood like walnut or oak for authentic provincial pieces, or mahogany in mid-20th-century reproductions. The current finish appears to be a painted, possibly distressed, off-white or cream with gold accents.

Upholstery: The velvet or damask fabric features a large, detailed floral pattern, which is typical of the delicate prints and floral motifs used in French Country and Provincial decor. See less
