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.
Good conditions. Beautifully carved, this decorative sculpture is perfect for placing on a table or hanging on the wall.
