Rococo Brass & Porcelain Circular Wall Frame - Floral Medallion with Ribbon Bow Crest

Design & Inspiration

Few decorative objects command a room with the quiet authority of a well-composed wall medallion. This Rococo circular brass wall frame draws its soul from the golden age of French decorative arts — the mid-eighteenth century, when curves were celebrated over straight lines, and every surface was considered a canvas for artistry. At its crown, a sculpted ribbon bow in cast brass cascades with the elegant flourish characteristic of Louis XV and Louis XVI salon interiors, while the lower register features a lush garland of acanthus leaves and rosette appliqués that anchor the composition with classical weight.

Materials & Craftsmanship

The frame itself is cast and hand-finished in solid brass, its surface worked through a multi-stage process of chasing and burnishing to achieve the rich, warm depth that distinguishes genuine metalwork from mere decoration. The border is enriched with egg-and-dart molding and a delicate beaded inner rim, both hallmarks of Neoclassical ornamental vocabulary. At the heart of the frame rests a hand-painted porcelain disc — a technique reaching back to the great European manufactories of Sèvres and Meissen. The central cartouche presents a naturalistic bouquet of white daisies and golden sunflowers rendered with botanical precision against a pristine ivory ground, encircled by a sage-green Rococo border alive with gilded scrollwork and palmette flourishes. Every element — from the cast brass bow to the porcelain glaze — is the work of skilled hands at Brass & Wood's Egyptian atelier.

Dimensions & Details

This circular wall frame is designed to be displayed as a standalone centrepiece or grouped with complementary pieces for a curated gallery wall arrangement. Its substantial weight of 4 kg speaks to the generosity of material used — solid brass construction rather than hollow castings or resin substitutes. The piece arrives ready to hang with no assembly required, suspended securely via the integrated brass loop behind the ribbon crest. Available in multiple brass finishes to complement your interior palette.

Handcrafted in Egypt

Each frame is produced at Brass & Wood's workshop in Egypt, where master craftsmen trained in classical European techniques bring centuries-old traditions into the modern home. Egypt's deep heritage of metalwork — itself a legacy of the great Bronze Age civilisations of the ancient world — lends a particular authenticity to this craft. Every piece passes through individual quality inspection before dispatch, ensuring that what arrives in your home is a faithful, handcrafted interpretation of European Rococo decorative art at its finest. Delivery is estimated at 30–45 days to allow sufficient time for hand-finishing and quality review.
