It is false that rococo furniture was designed to be attached to walls as permanent fixtures in rooms. Rococo style is an exaggerated, baroque, lavish style which originated in the 18th century in France.
The main characteristic that comes to mind when considering rococo furniture is opulence. Rococo furniture was designed to reflect the affluence of its owner and served as a status symbol. There were always many details incorporated into the furniture such as intricate patterns that would have all been hand done. The meticulousness of rococo furniture creation is why it is still desired today as valuable antiques. It was just as much art as it was furniture.
