Rococo Brass & Ceramic Circular Wall Medallion - Green Enamel with Floral Centre & Ribbon Bow

Design & Inspiration

Few decorative objects capture the exuberant spirit of eighteenth-century European court culture as eloquently as the ornamental wall medallion. This handcrafted piece — faithfully inspired by the Rococo style that flourished under the reign of Louis XV — distills the era's defining sensibility into a single, breathtaking circular composition. The deep emerald-green enamel ground, animated by sweeping gilded acanthus scrollwork, recalls the lacquered boiseries of Versailles' private apartments, while the crowning ribbon bow — a motif beloved by Rococo designers from Meissonnier to Boucher — lends the piece its unmistakable period character. At the heart of the medallion, a hand-painted floral bouquet in the tradition of Sèvres porcelain adds warmth and intimacy, transforming this wall hanging into a genuine conversation piece.

Materials & Craftsmanship

This luxury wall medallion is constructed from two masterfully combined materials: a cast and hand-finished brass armature, and a ceramic disc finished in deep green enamel. The outer brass ring is cast with high-relief acanthus and rocaille scrollwork, each curl and tendril hand-chased to achieve the fluid, almost organic quality characteristic of the finest Rococo metalwork. A beaded border ring — faithfully reproducing the egg-and-dart moulding vocabulary of the period — frames the inner ceramic disc with quiet precision. At the base, a dramatic cast-brass festoon of roses, leaves, and buds cascades beneath the disc, its three-dimensional relief demanding skilled hands at every stage of production. The crowning ribbon-and-bow finial, cast separately and assembled atop the frame, echoes the passementerie trim of period textiles and completes the vertical composition with effortless grace.

Dimensions & Details

The medallion measures 40 cm in height by 32 cm in width, a scale well suited to solo display on a feature wall, or grouped symmetrically as part of a curated gallery arrangement. Its circular format and vertical ribbon finial give it a commanding presence without overwhelming smaller rooms. The piece weighs 4 kg, providing the satisfying heft of genuine cast metal while remaining straightforward to mount. A recessed hanging point is integrated into the reverse, requiring no additional assembly.

Handcrafted in Egypt

Every piece bearing the Brass & Wood name is produced in Egypt by artisans who carry forward a tradition of decorative metalwork stretching back generations. This medallion is cast, finished, and assembled entirely by hand — no two pieces are precisely identical, and the subtle variations in gilded patina and enamel depth are the hallmarks of authentic handcraft rather than industrial reproduction. Brass & Wood is proud to offer international collectors and interior designers access to this level of craftsmanship, with customisation available on brass finish and ceramic colour to suit individual projects.
