This lovely Rococo style clutch is a precious felted sweater totally freehand cut & hand stitched/embellished to give it the light & frivolous look of the Rococo art period of painters/artists like Jean-Honore' Fragonard who painted the lovely Rococo painting 'The Swing' in 1767 during the Rococo period corresponding to the reign of Louis XV of France. In decoration the fully fledged style is characterized by decoration based on arabesques, elaborate curves, symmetry and irridescent pastel colors-very light-hearted. The rococo period embraced delicate ornamentation, lightness & grace coming after the heavy Baroque period. The handle is a golden cord and a tassel adorns each side of this clutch which has an interior pocket & a lovely golden button with a floral design complimenting the Rococo artistic period. Hand embellished with many stitch variations & several yarns & threads. This lovely Rococo Revival was inspired by the many paintings I saw in the Louvre in Paris. Enjoy!
