Rococo Brass Oval Frame Display Plate with Bow Crest & Hand-Painted Floral Medallion

Design & Inspiration

Few decorative objects capture the spirit of eighteenth-century French court culture as completely as a finely wrought presentation plate in the Rococo manner. This oval display plate — measuring 15 cm wide and 24 cm tall — stands as a self-assured statement piece, its cast brass surround alive with the exuberant vocabulary of the Louis XV period. The eye is drawn first to the crowning ribbon-bow crest, its fluid loops rendered with the lightness of actual silk, then pulled downward across an exquisitely repousséd field of acanthus scrolls, rocaille shells, and delicate foliate swags that frame a luminous hand-painted floral medallion at the centre. Resting on a pair of elegant scroll-form legs, the piece presents itself on any surface with the quiet confidence of a museum-quality objet d'art.

Materials & Craftsmanship

The body of this display plate is cast and hand-finished in solid brass, achieving the richly layered relief characteristic of authentic Rococo metalwork. Each acanthus scroll and rocaille motif has been individually worked to ensure crisp shadow lines and a sense of genuine depth — the kind of quality that distinguishes handcrafted brasswork from machine-pressed reproductions. At the heart of the composition sits a finely crafted ceramic medallion set against a deep black ground, bearing a hand-painted bouquet of peonies, roses, and forget-me-nots in the tradition of Sèvres and Meissen floral porcelain painting. The piece is available in multiple brass finishes — Gold, Silver, and Antique Gold — allowing it to complement a broad range of interior palettes.

Dimensions & Details

Width: 15 cm | Height: 24 cm | Weight: 4 kg. The substantial weight of this luxury decorative plate reflects the density of its solid brass construction. The self-standing scroll legs provide stable display without the need for wall mounting, though the piece may equally be hung as a decorative wall plate. Its compact footprint makes it ideal for a side table, writing desk, library shelf, or console in a reception hall.
