The sweeping influence of the visually stunning French Rococo design flourishes to dramatic life in the Chateau Beauvais Collection by Michael Amini, bringing with it a sense of elegance that was once only seen in the castles of nobility. "Rococo" comes from French word, rocaille (shellwork), and Italian barocco, or Baroque style, used at first as a term of abuse for an outmoded style.

Flowers and plants were used to emphasize sinuous lines which tended more and more towards the asymmetrical.
The bedroom group showcases a mansion bed with unique pillowed wood headboard and footboard, and dresser with bombe styling.
With signature pierced carvings; intricate inlaid marquetry with a botanical feel; and bombe shaping, Chateau Beauvais boasts details that impress even the most discerning tastes.
