Art Style name

[infomatrix]

does anybody know what the art style with the olive branches is called?...its used in the dollar bill, picture frames, fences, anything that has that royal, luxury look...does anyone know the name of it?

other than saying, it's based on greek origin, perhaps this will helphttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olive_branch
Some interesting history behind it.

History of the frame.

The frame you posted has acorns in it if that changes anything.

I would call it Baroque or King Louis Style, but maybe either of those are too ornate.

wow thanks ibclare...i actually got some pretty good results with "baroque"....you get amazing results with renaissance cartouches.
it seems in the modern term for this style is "baroque".....thanks
