A pair of 19th Century Italian Rococo commodes. Each antique Italian commode with serpentine top over a gilt banded frieze above a waisted bombe form case centering a cartouche form panel door, above a fleury incised apron centering a scrolled acanthus, raised on cabriole legs ending in overscrolled toes, overall polychrome decorated with floral garlands and meandering vines on a pale green ground. 34"H, 22"W, 16"D. Additional photographs to follow shortly. In Italy the Rococo style was concentrated primarily in Venice, where it was epitomized by the large-scale decorative paintings of Giambattista Tiepolo. The urban vistas of Francesco Guardi and Canaletto were also influenced by the Rococo. Meanwhile, in France the style had already begun to decline by the 1750s when it came under attack from critics for its triviality and ornamental excesses, and by the 1760s the new, more austere movement of Neoclassicism began to supplant the Rococo in France.
