| The decor of the grand salon of the Roquelaure mansion in Paris, France, is characteristic of the rococo style that developed during the reign of Louis XV. The style makes use of pale pastel colors, gold leaf, and delicate ornamentation with many curving forms. The elegant house, known as a hôtel in French, was completed in 1733 to the design of architect Pierre Lassurance, with interior decor by Jean-Baptise Leroux. | ||||||
