Some of these designs originate in the Hôtel
de Bourrienne, the house of Napoleon's Personal Secretary. Bourrienne was
affected to Bonaparte early in his career. So the cartoons are very good examples
of early French Neo-Classicism. Our interpretation is a variation from the
original coloring : An overall monochrome effect with touches of pink and
ochre . The medallions are painted in white on charcoal grey ; they represent
mythological scenes. Wainscoting and upper frieze are also available making
this series a full decor for for a room if desired or 9 panels and repeats,
that can be used as decorative panels and accents
· ( See Arabesque in our catalogue for complete
series ) - Also available in IKSEL Print.
