This anonymous 19th-century design for a ceiling and wall is a perfect example of the Rococo Revival style. The delicate, floral motifs and ornate details, like the garlands of flowers, speak to the style's fondness for playful, asymmetrical patterns, and the overall light and airy feel of the design was very popular in the 19th century. The window, framed by lush curtains, offers a glimpse of the outdoors, further emphasizing the harmonious relationship between nature and interior design that was characteristic of the era.
