The panels shows the first stage, after the damp leather has been pressed into a mould to create relief decoration. This series of panels were made in about 1855 by the French firm of Jean Michel Dulud, who specialized in this technique.  They often used historic styles which were particularly fashionable at the time.  This design of curving, scrolling branches, was based on Gothic designs of the medieval period.  The Metropolitan Museum in New York has a chair of about 1850 (inventory number 1995.164) by the French furniture maker Jeanselme, which uses exactly this pattern of leather for the upholstery.","physicalDescription":"A leather panel moulded with an overall design of curving leafy scrolls in Gothic Revival style, entwined with ivy and morning glory, the main scrolls bearing pairs of flowers in each ogee-shaped reserve, including poppies, buttercup and a hanging snowdrop-like flower, all appearing to grow from different elements of the same continuous stems.  This panel shows the first stage of the creation of leather panels before any foil or paint has been added.  This panel has been knife-trimmed on all four sides.","artistMakerPerson":[],"artistMakerOrganisations":[{"name":{"text":"Dulud, Jacques Michel","id":"A21730"},"association":{"text":"designer and maker","id":"x34662"},"note":""}],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"leather","id":"AAT11845"}],"techniques":[{"text":"moulding","id":"AAT53134"},{"text":"embossing","id":"AAT53826"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Embossed leather","categories":[{"text":"Interiors","id":"THES48933"},{"text":"Furniture","id":"THES48948"},{"text":"Wall coverings","id":"THES48878"},{"text":"Leather","id":"THES49030"}],"styles":[{"text":"Gothic Revival","id":"AAT21452"}],"collectionCode":{"text":"FWK","id":"THES48597"},"images":["2010ED2526"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"012","id":"THES301680"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Leather panel","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Paris","id":"x29068"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"ca. 1855","earliest":"1850-01-01","latest":"1859-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"53.2","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"32.3","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"Measurements checked on the object January 2009.
