Ornate style originating in France (6)

I believe the answer is:

rococo

(Other definitions for rococo that I've seen before include "Grotesque" , "18th century style" , "showing lots of curves?" , "Elaborately ornate" , "Late baroque style (of furniture or architecture)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
