The Richness and Drama of the Baroque Ornament
The design of this pull is the essence of the Baroque, an artistic style of the 17th and first half of the 18th centuries that loved drama, movement, emotion, and opulence. In furniture making, this translated into complex carvings, gilding, and highly decorative hardware. The acanthus leaf, with its spiraling and fleshy shapes seen on this pull, was a favorite motif that perfectly expressed the Baroque desire for grandeur and dynamism.
Interestingly, the cup shape itself has its origins in the Baroque and Rococo fondness for natural forms, specifically the shell motif (French "rocaille," from which Rococo is derived). This shape symbolically transferred the aesthetic of water features and artificial grottos from castle gardens directly into the home's interior.
Installation and Care
You can easily fasten the pull with two screws, for which holes are provided in the mounting feet. When installing in hardwood, we recommend pre-drilling pilot holes to prevent splitting the wood.
Due to the very detailed relief, dust may settle on the pull. To remove it, a soft brush is ideal for getting into all the crevices. Afterwards, simply wipe with a dry cloth. Do not use aggressive chemical cleaners. This handle is not designed to bear heavy loads.
