History: A serpentine shape is any of certain curved shapes of an object or design, which are suggestive of the shape of a snake (the adjective "serpentine" is derived from the word serpent). Serpentine shapes occur in architecture, in furniture, and in mathematics.In furniture, serpentine-front dressers and cabinets have a convex section between two concave ones.[4] This design was common in the Rococo period.[5] Examples include Louis XV commodes and 18th-century English furniture.[6] Furniture with a concave section between two convex ones is sometimes referred to as reverse serpentine or oxbow.
