BAROQUE & ROCOCO are two of the most magnificent and well translated elegance of Architecture and the Arts in the old English period. It shows the majestic implementations of classical designs which deals with more gold features and more distinctive designs that makes it very noticeable and prominent in the history of Architecture.
GOLD is the color of this era. They usually use gold plated crafts to give emphasis to the prominent Baroque & Rococo Style to showcase their sophistication and tranquility in their design. I love the color gold when it comes to furniture because it boosts out the upper class look of it's vintage-classic style. Gold is also often used as embelishment in their outfits, curtains, etc.
The TWISTED COLUMN. It is one of my most favorite features of the Baroque & Rococo Period. It gives a very intriguing effect to buildings and houses. It has a very simple detail, just a twisted style and that's it, unlike the other column that has a lot of vines and flowers engraved unto it making too extravagant for just a pillar/column. When painted in gold it enhances its beauty and it compliments the whole facade of a building. It is also very noticeable very prominent and very unique in its own way.
Another important style in Baroque & Rococo is the BOUDOIRS. It is like an exaggerated floral design with vines swirling making it very feminine. It is also very prominent even in Filipino designs often seen in wood carvings and curtain designs but has a different name.
In fashion, Baroque & Rococo have this taste of heavy draping and wide mouthed skirts also with huge puffed sleeves with laced linings for women while lose long sleeves, ascots, tights, and white knee socks for men. Gold, laces, and velvets are often used in their clothing.
