From the Minneapolis Institute of Art record
In the late eighteenth century, woven textile designs shifted from the large, elaborate patterns of the Rococo style to the more restrained taste of the Neo-Classical style. Sprays of small flowers accompany thin bands of rocaille (shell encrusted or pebbly) motifs, woven with gold and silver, as well as multi-colored threads. This panel may have been part of a furniture fabric for a matched set of chairs and sofas used in an elegant French reception room. France, Europe
