Country of origin
Although it bears no visible control mark indicating its origin, it has a Dutch hallmark, generally used for antique items subject to reassessment. This does not guarantee it was made in the Netherlands. However, its 14-carat gold content could serve as an indicator, as this is a distinctive sign of Dutch craftsmanship, although its attribution remains uncertain.
Style
Rococo - Rococo (more rarely roccoco), also called “late baroque,” is an 18th-century style that developed when baroque artists abandoned symmetry to become increasingly ornate, flowery, and playful. 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 Dictionary of the French Academy specified that the word rococo “generally designates the type of ornament, style, and motif associated with the reign of Louis XV and the beginning of that of Louis XVI.” It thus encompasses all types of art produced around the mid-18th century in France.

Style specifics
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 rocaille, 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 in England.
