Design for a paneled ceiling painted with putti, birds, and floral motifs 1820 - 1897

Jules-Edmond-Charles Lachaise's "Design for a paneled ceiling painted with putti, birds, and floral motifs" is a design for a ceiling in an 18th-century French style. The design features a large octagonal panel in the center, surrounded by smaller rectangular and square panels. The panels are decorated with putti, birds, and floral motifs, painted in delicate colors. The design is a perfect example of the Rococo style, which was popular in the 18th century. The Rococo style was known for its ornate decoration, light and playful colors, and asymmetrical forms. Lachaise’s design is an example of this style, with its intricate details, delicate colors, and symmetrical composition. The design reflects the elegance and sophistication of the Rococo era, and its intricate details and graceful forms would have been impressive and appealing to the patrons and visitors of the room it was intended for.
