Rococo Triple Porcelain Medallion Brass Wall Plaque - Ribbon Crown & Floral Cartouche
Categories:
Design & Inspiration
Few decorative objects embody the spirit of eighteenth-century French court taste with as much grace as this triple-medallion wall plaque. Inspired by the celebrated Sèvres manufactory tradition — the preferred porcelain atelier of Louis XV and Marie Antoinette — this piece suspends three hand-painted porcelain roundels within an architectural cascade of gilded brass frames, crowned by an exquisitely rendered ribbon bow. The effect is at once jewel-like and monumental: a composition that holds the eye and commands a wall with quiet, aristocratic authority.
Materials & Craftsmanship
Each of the three circular porcelain medallions is hand-painted with a classic Rococo floral bouquet set against the instantly recognizable bleu celeste (sky blue) ground — a signature color of authentic Sèvres porcelain. Delicate white cartouche reserves outlined in burnished gold frame the central bouquets of roses, peonies, and mixed blossoms, rendered with botanical precision. The brass framework surrounding each medallion is cast and hand-chased in an intricate diamond-cut guilloche pattern, replicating the fine metalwork found on period ormolu mounts. A scrolling ribbon bow — the quintessential Rococo motif of playful elegance — crowns the composition and provides the hanging point, while the base terminates in a symmetrical foliate scroll bracket. All metal surfaces are finished to your choice of brass color, applied by hand for a rich, even patina.
Dimensions & Details
This plaque is designed to hang vertically in portrait orientation, the three medallions arranged in a linear cascade that draws the eye upward toward the ribbon crown. The piece weighs 4 kg, ensuring it possesses genuine physical presence on the wall — not a lightweight reproduction, but a substantive decorative object. It is supplied ready to hang with no assembly required, and arrives carefully packed to protect its fragile porcelain panels during transit.
Handcrafted in Egypt
Every plaque is produced by Brass & Wood's skilled artisans in Egypt, where generations of metalworking tradition meet the exacting standards of European classical design. The brass casting, hand-chasing, porcelain painting, and final assembly are each performed by specialist craftsmen — never by machine — ensuring that no two pieces are entirely identical. Brass & Wood offers customization options for the brass finish, making it possible to commission this piece in gold, antique gold, or silver tones to complement your existing interior palette.
