"Trophies and Birds" is a three-panel screen made by the Savonnerie Manufactory between 1715 and 1750, and now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The screen depicts a vibrant tapestry of flowers, birds, and trophies, with a backdrop of lush greenery. Each panel features a different arrangement of these elements, highlighting the artistry of the Savonnerie weavers. This screen exemplifies the Rococo style, known for its elaborate ornamentation and playful use of asymmetry.
