Rococo Brass Round Decorative Plate with Bow Crown & Hand-Painted Rose Bouquet
Categories:
Design & Inspiration
Few decorative objects command a room with the effortless authority of this Rococo round medallion plate. Suspended from its sculptural ribbon-and-bow crown — a motif beloved by Louis XVI court designers — it recalls the intimate salons of Versailles, where every surface was an invitation to delight the eye. The circular form, enclosed by a hand-cast brass frame enriched with egg-and-dart molding, creates a sense of perfect completeness: a gilded window opening onto a garden in full bloom.
Materials & Craftsmanship
The outer frame is cast from solid brass, finished with meticulous hand-polishing to achieve a warm, luminous surface. The bow-and-ribbon crown is separately cast and hand-assembled, with each loop and trailing ribbon end retaining the crisp detail that only hand-finishing can produce. The circular border is embellished with a repeating relief of acanthus scrolls and floral rosettes — a hallmark of the Rococo ornamental vocabulary. At the centre, a master artisan has hand-painted a lush bouquet of crimson and cream roses with detailed buds and dark-green foliage on a warm ivory ground, rendered in the tradition of eighteenth-century European botanical porcelain painting. The piece is sealed with a protective resin coat ensuring the vibrancy of the colours endures.

Weighing 4 kg, this piece carries the satisfying heft of quality materials.

It arrives ready to hang with no assembly required, making installation effortless.
