Zopfstyle" - this term is sometimes mistaken for Barocque, even Rococo, whilst it signifies merely the style, (certainly rather barren and stiff sometimes), which art chose under Louis XVI, in opposition as it were, to the pompous and confused style under Louis XV, by returning to the antique. Compared with the extravagances of Rococo the quiet, strict forms of the Zopfstyle produce a feeling of satisfaction in the mind of the beholder, unless, as is often the case, repose degenerates into rigidness, and strictness into barrenness. Plate 84 from " The Historic Styles of Ornament" translated from the German of H. Dolmetsch. [B.T. Batford, London, 1898]
