In the 18th century, Dutch art began to show the influence of the then immensely popular French rococo style. Color palettes were muted and delicate, lines were softly curving. Objects in still life were depicted in a fanciful, rather than strictly realistic, manner. The tapestry wall hanging, Bouquet Arabesque, is an attractive example of this romantic form. An urn of flowers sits in a niche in the wall decorated by a bas relief of a fruit garland. The undulant blossoms spill from their container. The tones are predominantly pastel, with contrast provided by the deep green of the foliage. For all its softness, this tapestry has a grand presence and would stand out even in a large room.

Bouquet Arabesque is one of the Floral Tapestries that are part of the European Floral Tapestries at Decor4u.com. They can be found in the Tapestry Shop. The hanging has been woven in France from a fine blend of 50% wool and 40% cotton. It measures 44 inches wide and 58 inches high and may be dry cleaned. A sewn rod pocket allows for easy hanging.
