Rococo Brass Oval Wall Plaque with Floral Art Print and Ribbon Crest

Design & Inspiration

Few decorative objects capture the playful opulence of 18th-century French court culture as eloquently as an ornate oval wall plaque in the Rococo tradition. This piece — measuring an imposing 88 cm in height and 37 cm in width — commands attention the moment it is hung. The elongated oval silhouette, framed in finely cast brass, rises to a delicate ribbon-and-bow crest that evokes the languid elegance of Louis XV's Versailles, where such decorative conceits adorned the boiseries of royal apartments. At the base, a mirrored bow pendant provides perfect visual symmetry, anchoring the composition with the same gentle theatricality that defines Rococo at its finest.

Materials & Craftsmanship

The frame is cast from solid brass, then hand-finished by skilled Egyptian artisans trained in the traditions of European decorative metalwork. The undulating inner edge of the frame features a classically beaded rope moulding — a motif found throughout the period's finest cabinet-making and gilded frames. Flanking the oval are softly modelled acanthus-leaf scrolls and floral rosette appliqués, each cast with crisp definition that speaks to the quality of the original pattern-making. The enclosed artwork presents a hand-style printed floral bouquet — roses, daisies, and trailing foliage rendered in dusky pinks, muted blues, and soft greens against a warm parchment ground — faithful to the gouache and watercolour botanical studies that were fashionable in Rococo interiors.

Dimensions & Details

At 88 cm tall and 37 cm wide, this wall plaque has the presence of a significant decorative object without overwhelming a space. It is suited to a vertical wall run between two windows, above a console table in a hallway, or as a focal element above a bedhead. The piece weighs 4 kg and arrives fully assembled, requiring only a single wall fixing. The brass finish is available in Gold, Silver, and Antique Gold variants — each altering the mood of the piece from bright palatial to warmly aged.

Handcrafted in Egypt

Every piece in the Brass & Wood collection is produced in Egypt by artisans who combine inherited craft knowledge with European design references. The casting, finishing, and assembly of this wall plaque reflect a commitment to quality that fast-produced decorative imports cannot match. When you hang this piece, you are not simply adding wall décor — you are placing a hand-finished object of genuine craft into your home, one that honours a centuries-old European decorative tradition while being made with Egyptian pride.
