The colourful varie-flowered shrubs of these India-fashioned hangings evoke the Roman ver perpetuum of everlasting Spring. They evolved from the Elizabethan crewel-work 'tree-of-life' hangings, and the 17th century East India Company 'chintz' textiles introduced in fashionable bedroom apartments. Similar shrubs within foliated borders feature on an 18th century French folding-screen illustrated in L. Synge, Art of Embroidery, Woodbridge, 2001 (pl. 176).
