The sweeping influence of the visually stunning French Rococo design flourishes to dramatic life in the
Chateau Beauvais Collection by
Michael Amini, bringing with it a sense of elegance that was once only seen in the castles of nobility. "Rococo" comes from French word,
rocaille (shellwork), and Italian
barocco, or Baroque style, used at first as a term of abuse for an outmoded style. Rococo emphasized pastel colors, sinuous curves, and patterns based on flowers, vines, and shells. Classical elements gave way to fantastic mythical beings, frolicking Chinese figures and playful animals. Flowers and plants were used to emphasize sinuous lines which tended more and more towards the asymmetrical.
The
bedroom group showcases a mansion bed with unique pillowed wood headboard and footboard, and
dresser with bombe styling.
With signature pierced carvings; intricate inlaid marquetry with a botanical feel; and bombe shaping, Chateau Beauvais boasts details that impress even the most discerning tastes. Finished in a unique duo-tone finish named Noble Bark, Chateau Beauvais evokes images of French flair.
