Notes
The Rococo style, or late Baroque style, began c. 1730.
Rococo wall mirrors are characterized by their heavy, ornate frames which were sculpted in plaster and often gilded.
Derived from 'Rocaille', which was originally a method of decorating using concrete, pebbles and seashells, Rococo style uses natural forms like shells, floral and leaf motifs.
