Sip in royal style: Discover our pink Versailles glasses from La Rochère.

At Maison Chérie, we are delighted to introduce a captivating new addition to our collection — the pink Versailles glasses from the esteemed French glassmaker La Rochère. These refined pieces do more than serve your favourite drink: they carry centuries of history, elegance, and art from the heart of France’s most iconic palace.

A Toast to History

These new glasses echo a long and storied tradition. La Rochère describes their design as inspired by “baroque decorative panels: scallop shells, embellished with curves and floral counter-curves, evoking vegetal sinuosities,” directly referencing the artistry of the Louis XV era.

These motifs — scallop shells entwined with floral arabesques — evoke the very spirit of Versailles, where the courts of the 18th century were awash with these organic, flowing designs. Under Louis XV, shell forms became a decorative reference in goldsmithing, cabinetmaking, and stucco work, adorning everything from opulent furniture to elaborate boiserie.

The Rococo Influence: Shells, Scrolls, and Sinuous Lines

The style of these glasses is deeply rooted in the Rococo, or Rocaille, aesthetic that flourished during the reign of Louis XV. Characterised by elaborate curves, asymmetry, and motifs drawn from nature, rocaille often included rock- and shell-inspired ornamentation.

At Versailles, these decorative forms were not just for show. The palace’s wood panelling, ceilings, and furniture – crafted by the finest artisans of the time – were richly ornamented with scrolling foliage, seashells, and floral arabesques, giving rooms a light, almost playful energy.
