Centrepieces

A centrepiece or ceiling rose is a circular moulded feature which usually acts as a frame for a pendant light. Centrepieces may also be used to centre an otherwise bare ceiling. In this case, the centre of the centrepiece would be filled with a rosette instead of a pendant light. Traditionally a rose was an emblem for secrecy . Apparently Victorian families used to have sub rosa (private) conversations beneath the ceiling rose.
