Specific references to Baroque are rare, since Postmodernism often included highly simplified elements that were 'quotations' of Classicism in general, like pediments or columns. More references to Baroque are found in [[Versace]] ceramic ware and fashion, decorated with maximalist [[acanthus (ornament)|acanthus]] [[rinceau]]x, very similar to the ones found in Italian Baroque ornament plates and in [[Boulle work]], but also similar to the ones found on [[Empire style|Empire]] objects, especially textiles, from the reign of [[Napoleon I]].
