Rococo Brass Standing Decorative Plate Set — Pastoral Scene Round Frame

Design & Inspiration

Place these three graduated plates on a console table, a library shelf, or a mantelpiece and something changes in the room — a pastoral world opens up within each circular frame. The convex glass over each pastoral landscape gives the scene a miniature, jewel-like depth, as if you are peering through a window into an 18th-century French countryside: a stone bridge arching over still water, figures resting beneath ancient trees, a watermill half-hidden in shadow. This is the spirit of French Rococo — not grandeur for its own sake, but the quiet drama of nature observed with care.

Materials & Craftsmanship

Each plate in this set of three is housed within a cast brass frame, handcrafted and finished to a warm gilded tone. The circular border is dressed with a continuous beaded edge — a detail drawn directly from 18th-century French ormolu work — while the crest of each frame carries a hand-formed ribbon-and-bow motif, the defining ornamental flourish of the Louis XV period. The base is an intricate openwork foliate stand with scrolled legs, cast individually and assembled by hand. The pastoral scene itself is rendered on a plate set beneath convex glass, which gives the image a gentle three-dimensional quality characteristic of period miniature portraiture. The three pieces graduate in size, creating a composed, salon-ready grouping.

Dimensions & Details

This set contains three decorative standing plates in graduated sizes — small, medium, and large — displayed as a group. Total set weight is 4 kg. Each piece stands independently on its brass foliate base. Dimensions are proportioned for console table, mantelpiece, or shelf display. The convex glass plate and brass beaded frame edge are consistent across all three pieces, creating visual unity within the set.

Handcrafted in Egypt

Faithfully reproduced in the tradition of French Rococo decorative arts, this set is handcrafted in Egypt by Brass & Wood artisans working in cast brass and detailed finishing techniques. Each frame is cast, cleaned, and finished by hand — the beaded border, foliate stand, and ribbon crest are all individually worked before assembly. Brass & Wood brings the design vocabulary of 18th-century French ateliers into the modern home, with the integrity of hand production that mass manufacturing cannot replicate.
