Rococo Brass Wall Ornament with Navy Blue Floral Medallion - Horizontal Scroll

Design & Inspiration

Few decorative traditions capture the exuberance of eighteenth-century European court life as vividly as Rococo ornament. This horizontal brass wall piece draws directly from the vocabulary of the Louis XV period — an era defined by sinuous curves, naturalistic flourishes, and a passionate celebration of beauty in every surface. Spanning 60 cm in width and 17 cm in height, the composition radiates from a central navy blue ceramic medallion hand-painted with a lush floral bouquet, its gilded frame ringed with fine beaded detailing. From this focal point, symmetrical yet organically flowing acanthus scrolls, rocaille tendrils, and foliate branches sweep outward to the left and right, terminating in delicately curled leaf tips. The overall silhouette is unmistakably Rococo: asymmetrical in its finer details yet perfectly balanced as a whole, capturing the movement and lightness that defined the period's finest decorative metalwork.

Materials & Craftsmanship

Each piece is cast and hand-finished by skilled Egyptian artisans working in the tradition of the great European bronze-casters and fonderies d'art. The structural body is formed from high-quality brass, each scroll and tendril individually refined by hand to preserve the organic spontaneity of the original modelled design. The finish is available in multiple brass tones — the piece illustrated carries a warm rose-gold hue, revealing the subtle interplay of light across each raised surface. At the centre, a ceramic medallion — produced with a deep cobalt navy ground — bears a hand-painted floral composition in the manner of Sèvres porcelain, a tradition synonymous with French royal patronage. The medallion is set within a gilded surround of laurel and bead moulding, anchoring the flowing scrollwork with regal authority.

Dimensions & Details

Width: 60 cm | Height: 17 cm | Weight: 4 kg. The piece ships fully assembled, requiring no installation tools beyond a standard wall hook or bracket (not included). The horizontal format makes it ideally suited to placement above a fireplace mantel, console table, headboard, or as a cornice accent above a mirror or artwork. Its 60 cm span commands attention without overwhelming a wall, making it equally effective in a salon, bedroom, or reception hallway.

The frame and scrollwork are cast from solid brass, hand-finished to your chosen colour. The central medallion is a ceramic piece hand-painted with a floral motif on a navy blue ground, in the tradition of classical European porcelain decoration.

Is assembly or installation required?

No assembly is required — the piece arrives fully formed. Installation requires a standard wall hook, picture rail, or appropriate bracket suited to the wall type. The ornament weighs 4 kg, so we recommend securing it to a stud or using appropriate wall anchors.
