The panel shows, overall, two and a half repeats of a formal Louis XIV revival design, centreing on a shaped cartouche in strapwork.  The cartouche has straight sides, but shows a double curve at top and bottom, forming a point.  The centre of the cartouche is set with a pedestal, with moulded, trellised decoration, supporting a fan-shaped motif, flanked by two birds, with their heads turned to the edge of the panel. The spandrels outside the cartouche are set with formal motifs of acanthus foliage and the sides of the cartouche are flanked with half a shaped cartouche on each side.  If the panels were placed edge to edge with others of this pattern these would form narrow, serpentine cartouches between the main ones. The ground of the panel is decorated with small flower and foliage motifs in relief, against a background that is painted in dark green.  The edges of the frame of the main cartouche and the edges of some other motifs are decorated in varnished foil, giving the effect of gilding. The painting took place after the foil work and traces of paint are visible on foiled areas","artistMakerPerson":[],"artistMakerOrganisations":[{"name":{"text":"Dulud, Jacques Michel","id":"A21730"},"association":{"text":"designer and maker","id":"x34662"},"note":"This is one of the most popular designs of the period 1700-1725 and was much copied in the 19th century.
