French Rococo is an exuberant decorative style that flourished during the eighteenth century, characterised by flowing curves, asymmetrical ornament, shell motifs, flowers and elaborate gilding. Associated with the reign of Louis XV, Rococo celebrated elegance, movement and naturalistic decoration across furniture, mirrors, lighting and interiors. Antique French Rococo pieces remain among the finest examples of European decorative art.
