Deutches Tapeten Museum & The Cartouche Panel

For those who beside painted walls and bare concrete walls appreciate elaborated wall coverings then Das Deutches Tapeten Museum Kassel is a place to visit. You will find yourself among a vast collection of historical wall coverings ranging from Gilded Leather, Flock Wallpaper, this is sort of velvet wallpaper, Canvas wallpaper and a whole range of Panoramic wallpapers, just name it, we enjoyed it very much. One Gilded Leather design has been a source of inspiration for our "Cartouche" design.

The original design had no embossing what so ever, but instead had in some areas a punched ornamentation. We have opted for a light embossing, here you see a tapestry of six panels with a Light Gilding and Animals in the cartouches.

A Cartouche with Rich Gilding and Black Background Paint, the cartouche is the result of Lut's good mood of the day I guess ? The Black and Rich Gilding combination produces a dramatic effect..... Always !
