The term 'ornate 18th-century style' refers to the ROCOCO style of art and architecture, which was popular in Europe during the 1700s. This style is characterized by elaborate and intricate designs, often featuring pastel colors, asymmetrical shapes, and curved lines. ROCOCO art and architecture often featured motifs from nature, such as flowers, shells, and other organic forms. ROCOCO was a reaction against the more formal and rigid Baroque style, and it was seen as a more lighthearted and playful approach to art and design.
