The excessively flamboyant and ornate style of Rococo emerged in France in the 1720s. It remained the predominant design style for most of the 18th century with sweeping pastel colours and golden details reigning supreme. This month’s collector colour is inspired by this period of gorgeous design, a classic peach terracotta with pops of royal hues and gold.
ROCOCO is hand-painted on a base of fingering weight 100% Merino wool (Koigu Painter’s Palette Premium Merino).
