In this article we will talk about what can be baroque in modern interiors, what ornaments and features distinguish it, as well as suggest what can be made on a CNC machine with the help of 3d models in the baroque style.
A few facts from the history of the style:
Baroque style originated under Louis XIV. By the way, the translation of the word "baroque" from Italian sounds like "fanciful or "ridiculous". According to another version - "excesses". The fact is that the style was based on the principles of hypertrophy, brightness and chic in everything. Louis wanted to demonstrate his greatness and wealth.

And many other monuments of the Baroque era can be found today in St. Petersburg. Only during the reign of Catherine II baroque was replaced by classicism.

Floors are lined with natural marble or expensive parquet, covered with luxurious carpets.
The walls are decorated with textile wallpapers and carved decor.
Doors are made of solid wood covered with skillful carving.
Furniture is exclusive, with ornate flowing forms, curved backs and legs with spectacular volumetric carvings, upholstered in expensive materials and sometimes even inlaid with precious stones.
Baroque interiors are decorated with many decorative elements (these can be floor clocks, carved boxes, elegant statuettes, floor vases, wrought iron candlesticks, etc.).
Lighting is usually represented by luxurious chandeliers. As an additional source of lighting - wall sconces in the classic style.
Ornaments and style elements:
Baroque includes the following ornaments and elements:
- Figures and images: usually they are madonnas, cherubs, babies. But at the same time, and realistic characters - for example, hunters with dogs (and it is in the interiors of the Baroque style often in the same subjects meet and mythical and real creatures)

Baroque decor is characterized by the mutual intersection of geometric shapes and figures, the prevalence of complex forms, the lack of strictness of lines (rather their chaotic). However, in the decor of the late Baroque prevails symmetry and strict order.
Frequent alternation of convex and concave surfaces.
The prevalence of decoration and its opulence is so great that it sometimes overshadows the work itself (for example, the frame can attract more attention than the picture in it).
