Rosette designs from Meyer's Handbook of Ornament A rosette is a round, stylized flower design. Contents 1 Origin 2 History 3 Ancient origins 4 Modern use 5 Gallery 6 See also 7 Footnotes Origin The rosette derives from the natural shape of the botanical rosette, formed by leaves radiating out from the stem of a plant and visible even after the flowers have withered. History The rosette design is used extensively in sculptural objects from antiquity, appearing in Mesopotamia,and in funeral steles' decoration in Ancient Greece. It was adopted later in Romaneseque and Renaissance architecture, and also common in the art of Central Asia, spreading as far as India where it is used as a decorative motif in Greco-Buddhist art. Ancient origins One of the earliest appearances of the rosette in ancient art is in early fourth millennium BC Egypt.[1] Another early Mediterranean occurrence of the rosette design derives from Minoan Crete; Among other places, the design appears on the Phaistos Disc, recovered from the eponymous archaeological site in southern Crete.[2] Thalea funerary stele with three rosette designs at the top, from approximately 150 BCE. Hellenistic work from Smyrna, now Izmir, Turkey Rosette design at the bottom of a statue of the Buddha, circa 1st century CE. Greco-Buddhist art found in Gandhara Modern use The formalised flower motif is often carved in stone or wood to create decorative ornaments for architecture and furniture, and in metalworking, jewelry design and the applied arts to form a decorative border or at the intersection of two materials. Rosette decorations have been used for formal military awards. They also appear in modern, civilian clothes,[3] and are often worn prominently in political[4] or sporting[5] events. Rosettes sometimes decorate musical instruments, such as around the perimeter of sound holes of guitars.

(March 2007) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) A fillet corner sample. Note the flat "lip". In the picture framing industry, a fillet (also referred to as a slip) is a small piece of moulding which fits inside a larger frame or, typically, underneath or in between matting, used for decorative purposes. The picture framing term is probably related to, though not necessarily derived from, the engineering term, which it is frequently pronounced similarly to; however, unlike the use of fillets in mechanical engineering, the use of "fillets" in picture frames is wholly decorative. Contents 1 Pronunciation 2 Construction 3 Uses 4 See also Pronunciation Fillet can be pronounced in two ways. One way is to pronounce it as if it were "fill-it", as the similar term from mechanical engineering is pronounced. The other is similar to the French-derived culinary term. Either is acceptable in English, though most frame shops prefer one or the other pronunciation. Construction Fillets are typically made of soft or hard wood, and feature a flat "lip" which can fit underneath a mat; the non-lip portion is what is displayed. Except for their shape and size (which is understandably small), fillets are constructed similarly to picture frames, usually from wood or polystyrene. Metal fillets are very rare. Fillets are available in a number of styles and finishes, including gold and silver leaf finishes. Uses The fillet is normally used as decoration in the lining of a picture frame or underneath a mat inside one; the intent is to help draw the eye inwards to the document being framed. However, one can also use inverted fillets as form of picture frame on small, flat objects, as seen below: An old greeting card, framed with an inverted fillet In this case, the card was glued to the lip of the inverted fillet (which is thus hidden behind the back of the card). Objects such as this that have been framed using inverted fillets can be backed and then affixed to wire for hanging, displayed on an easel, or used inside of a larger shadowbox display. It is important to note that only very small, extremely flat objects can be framed using only an inverted fillet, as a fillet lacks the depth of a traditional picture frame, and due to its size, weight and construction, could not support a great amount of weight on its own.
