- Rococo Style Summary
Centuries before the term "bling" was invented to denote ostentatious shows of luxury, Rococo infused the world of art and interior design with an aristocratic idealism that favored elaborate ornamentation and intricate detailing.
The art of François Boucher and other painters of the period, with its emphasis on decorative mythology and gallantry, soon inspired a reaction, and a demand for more "noble" themes. While the Rococo continued in Germany and Austria, the French Academy in Rome began to teach the classic style.
Rococo was a style of art, especially architecture and decorative art that originated in France. It is marked by elaborate ornamentation with a profusion of scrolls, foliage, and animal forms. Its main period was from the late 1720s to the late 1780s. The French Revolution in 1789 ended Rococo.

Rococo flourished in English design between 1740 and 1770. It first appeared in England in silver and engravings of ornament in the 1730s, with immigrant artists and craftspeople, including Huguenot refugees from France, such as Paul de Lamerie, playing a key role in its dissemination.
