Gaudy, rococo, overdone, complex, ornate, so it was a perfect lure from my usual US things.

    Great piece topstuf! I love that reverse design.

    btw - gaudy probably describes 90% of my collection. I am drawn to the baroque style designs in particular.

    Charles II of Spain was an extreme product of inbreeding.

    His father and mother were uncle and niece.
