Floral Composition

In this tapestry, 'Floral Composition', we see a Chenille tapestry which reveals an arrangement of flowers including roses and peonies. In this arrangement, they are overflowing onto the table. A vase in the background hints at other pieces of flower-work close by. The form of the petals and leaves of the flower cuttings both in the basket and on the table shows that there is superb attention to detail to make you think that the rose has just fallen out and has still retained its shape. The muted colors of this chenille tapestry is one which reflects the golden tones found in many works made in the 18th century and like sepia photography, accentuates the eye's ability to perceive texture and form. With floral arrangements such as this one, the beauty and elegance of the bouquet is made even more striking. This tapestry is unlined, and has a tunnel for easy hanging.
