About the Item
18th Century Rococo Ceiling and Panel Decoration – French Floral Scrolls, Plate LXXXVIII
This vibrant chromolithograph, Plate LXXXVIII from L'Ornement Polychrome, features a selection of exuberant Rococo decorative motifs from 18th-century France. These highly ornate and colorful designs were typical of ceiling corners, friezes, and panel insets in aristocratic interiors under the reign of Louis XV, showcasing the full flourish of the Rococo aesthetic.
The upper part of the plate presents two horizontal friezes bursting with asymmetrical scrollwork, shell motifs, garlands of roses, and stylized fountains. The compositions feature pastel tones of turquoise, salmon pink, lavender, and light blue set against warm ochre backgrounds, punctuated by floral festoons and delicate latticework. These designs likely adorned the cornices or transitional moldings between ceiling and wall in Rococo salons.
Beneath, four highly ornamental corner motifs are displayed, each a riot of color and detail. They incorporate spiraling acanthus leaves, floral sprays, ornamental shells, fan shapes, and exotic blossoms, some set against chocolate-brown grounds to enhance contrast. The symmetry is softened by the organic flow of foliage, curving volutes, and petal bursts, giving these panels a light, airy, and playful feel—typical of Rococo elegance and fantasy.
Lithographed by Bauer and published by Firmin-Didot in Paris around 1869, this print formed part of Auguste Racinet’s celebrated *L'Ornement Polychrome*, a compendium of global decorative styles intended to inspire 19th-century artists, decorators, and architects.
A joyful and richly detailed artifact of decorative history, this plate is an outstanding example of French ornamental sophistication and ideal for use as a reference in restoration, textile design, or classical interior projects.
