Country of origin:
Although it bears no readable control mark, we believe it to be of Belgian origin.
Style:
Rococo - Rococo (more rarely roccoco), also called “late Baroque,” is an 18th-century style that developed when Baroque artists abandoned symmetry in favor of an increasingly ornamental, flowery, and playful approach. Rococo pieces were designed as total works of art, with elegant and ornate furniture, small sculptures, decorative mirrors, and tapestries complementing the architecture, reliefs, and wall paintings. It was largely supplanted by the Neoclassical style. In 1835, the Dictionnaire de l'Académie française specified that the word rococo “generally refers to the type of ornament, style, and motif associated with the reign of Louis XV and the beginning of that of Louis XVI.” It therefore encompasses all types of art produced around the mid-18th century in France.

Stylistic features:
Rococo is a decorative style that succeeded, around 1730, the Baroque style in France (where it was also called rocaille). Its main characteristics are the asymmetry of ornaments and a repertoire composed largely of rockwork, shells, flowers, foliage, and scrolls. It was developed in France under Louis XV (1715-1774) and spread to Italy, Germany, and Austria, and to a lesser extent to England.
