Rococo Porcelain Decorative Wall Plate — Crimson Floral Bouquet with Gilt Brass Mount

Design & Inspiration

There is a particular kind of room presence that only a wall plate of this calibre can achieve. Hang it above a console table or on a salon wall and it commands attention the way a framed canvas does — except here, every surface is built from craft rather than painted on it. This decorative wall plate is faithfully reproduced in the tradition of the great French Sèvres-style porcelain chargers, pieces that once graced the walls and mantels of Second Empire drawing rooms. The deep crimson ground — that distinctive rouge de Sèvres — with its lattice of gold arabesques and scrolling acanthus immediately signals its Rococo and Napoleon III lineage.

Materials & Craftsmanship

The porcelain plate itself is hand-painted: a white central medallion carries a naturalistic bouquet of roses, daisies, and wildflowers rendered in warm amber, ochre, and coral tones, surrounded by the richly decorated crimson border where gold filigree arabesques and a diamond-lattice cartouche pattern are applied with a fine brush. The outer brass mounting frame — cast and hand-finished — encircles the plate in a rope-edged rim of warm gilt metal. At the crown, a delicately modelled brass bow with ribbon loops serves as both the hanging point and the ornamental crest, a hallmark of the French decorative tradition. At the base, a cascading arrangement of hand-chased brass roses and acanthus leaves completes the frame, giving the piece its sculptural weight.

Dimensions & Details

The piece weighs 4 kg, reflecting the substantial quality of both the porcelain body and the brass mounting. The circular format and the integrated brass frame make this a wall-ready piece requiring no additional hardware beyond a secure wall hook. Available in multiple brass finish variants to suit different interior palettes.

Handcrafted in Egypt

Each plate is handcrafted by the artisans of Brass & Wood in Egypt, drawing from the long tradition of European decorative porcelain and applying it through skilled hands. The brass frame components are individually cast and finished; the porcelain decoration is applied by hand. No two pieces are entirely identical — minor variations in the painted bouquet and the chased metalwork are the mark of genuine handcraft, not imperfection.
