Large carved stone rosette
France, 18th century
Diameter: 29.5 cm
This carved rosette likely adorned a ceiling. This rounded vault key exhibits a delicately crafted decor, with deeply carved piercings. This virtuoso work adeptly plays with light and shadow effects, as well as contrasts between voids and solids, depicting vegetation that is both lush and meticulously arranged according to a geometric pattern within a circle formed by a peripheral corolla of secondary leaf clusters.
