Rococo Brass & Porcelain Decorative Hanging Plate – Floral Bouquet Medallion with Ornate Frame

Design & Inspiration

There are objects that do not merely decorate a wall — they command it. This Rococo Brass & Porcelain Decorative Hanging Plate is precisely such a piece. Inspired by the exuberant decorative arts of 18th-century France, it faithfully reproduces the spirit of Louis XV's court: a world where every surface was an opportunity for artistry, every material an invitation to beauty. Suspended from an elaborately cast brass hook adorned with naturalistic blooms and leafwork, the piece draws the eye upward even before the central medallion is glimpsed, composing a silhouette of unmistakable classical authority.

Materials & Craftsmanship

The circular frame is cast from solid brass and finished to evoke the warm, time-worn patina of aged gilt bronze — a technique that requires patient hand-buffing and selective oxidation to achieve its characteristic depth. The border of the frame is richly articulated with rocaille scrollwork, acanthus foliage, and shell-like flourishes that flow continuously around the circumference, never mechanical, always alive. At the crown, a sculptural crest of crossed quivers, ribbons, and blossoms rises to meet the hanging loop — a motif drawn directly from the trophée ornamental vocabulary of French Rococo cabinetmakers and bronze-founders. The lower cartouche, shaped as a shield-form escutcheon, mirrors the upper crest to give the composition perfect vertical symmetry, a subtle nod to the underlying classical discipline beneath Rococo's apparent exuberance. Centred within this architectural frame sits a hand-painted porcelain medallion bearing a bouquet of garden roses and mixed blooms rendered in the soft palette — blush pinks, dusty creams, and warm sage — characteristic of Sèvres-inspired decorative porcelain. The white ground is delicately printed with gold-toned scrolling arabesques that frame the floral motif, creating a layered visual richness that rewards close inspection.

Dimensions & Details

The plate measures 54 cm wide and 56 cm tall overall, including the hanging crest, making it a commanding yet refined presence suitable for a statement wall. It weighs 4 kg — substantial enough to feel genuinely precious, light enough for standard picture-rail or hook installation. No assembly is required; the integrated hanging loop is fully functional as delivered. Available in multiple brass finishes to harmonise with your interior palette.

Handcrafted in Egypt

Every piece in the Brass & Wood collection is made in Egypt by skilled artisans who have inherited and refined the classical metalworking and porcelain-painting traditions of European decorative arts. The brass casting, chasing, finishing, and patination are each performed by hand — no two pieces are precisely identical, and each carries the subtle variation that is the hallmark of true handcraft. This is not mass production; it is the continuation of a tradition that honours the legacy of Rococo design for the modern luxury interior.
