Description: 1952 REED & BARTON EL GRECO MIDCENTURY ROCOCO CHASED ORNATE BUFFET WAITER TRAY Rococo style is fancy and fluid, accentuating asymmetry, with an abundant use of curves, scrolls, gilding and ornaments. The style enjoyed great popularity with the ruling elite of Europe during the first half of the 18th century. It developed in France out of a new fashion in interior decoration, and spread across Europe Characteristic of the style were Rocaille motifs derived from the shells, icicles and rock-work or grotto decoration. Foliage was also widely used for decoration, under the form of acanthus leaves, garlands (aka festoons), many flowers, and bouquets of flowers. Rococo foliage was always twisting and sinuous, with the common serrated-edged raffle leaf form often bordering the abstract. Other widely-user motifs in decorative arts and interior architecture include: birds, elements associated with love (putti, quivers with arrows ans arrowed hearts) trophies of arms, cherubs (aka putti), medallions with faces, and sometimes Far Eastern elements (pagodas, dragons, monkeys, bizarre flowers, bamboo, and Chinese people). Asymmetry is present in architecture and applied arts, making buildings and ornaments look more dynamic.
