Baroque style with a sense of drama and love of the ornate
Posted by JANE COCKCROFT on
I love the vintage linen fabric I found recently which have used to make a couple of handbags. I would describe the fabric as Baroque style. Did you know the exuberant Baroque style originated in Italy and influenced all of Europe. Dutch and French craftspeople who settled in England also had a great influence on the development of this style.
A profusion of plant life characterises the Baroque style. Scrolling foliage and garlands of flowers decorate many objects with a sense of drama and a love of the ornate.
What do you think, is it your style?
