<p>[QUOTE="Drew, post: 508673, member: 3235"]At the end of the day, I guess 'Baroque style' is the term to apply to 19th century pieces since there was no large scale popular demand for it like there was for the Rococo... hence the term revival.. Here is entry in Joseph Aronson's furniture book from 1938 offering a distinction between the two styles.... 'The Baroque withal is a masculine style, virile and blustering and bold. It's counterpart, the Rococo, came in the 18th c., substituting prettiness and charm for Baroque magnificence.'[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
