Defining characteristics of the Rococo Revival including curving lines and naturalistic decoration with a sense of symmetry can be seen in this delicate parlor chair. The pink pettipointe seat cover with shaded roses, a popular Rococo motif, demonstrates the style’s use of three-dimensional patterns on flat surfaces. #12.00A.0003, 309
