Aus der Website eines Tapetenlieferanten:
This motif is a historic panorama of the houses of Bruges. The composition provides a matt romantic touch and a grainy effect, as often used on Social Media. A big **scroll motif** with metallic finish connects the different pictures together.

The scroll in art is an element of ornament and graphic design featuring spirals and rolling incomplete circle motifs, some of which resemble the edge-on view of a book or document in scroll form, though many types are plant-scrolls, which loosely represent plant forms such as vines, with leaves or flowers attached. Scrollwork is a term for some forms of decoration dominated by spiralling scrolls, today used in popular language for two-dimensional decorative flourishes and arabesques of all kinds, especially those with circular or spiralling shapes.

Scroll decoration has been used for the decoration of a vast range of objects, in all Eurasian cultures, and most beyond. A lengthy evolution over the last two millennia has taken forms of plant-based scroll decoration from Greco-Roman architecture to Chinese pottery, and then back across Eurasia to Europe. They are very widespread in architectural decoration, woodcarving, painted ceramics, mosaic, and illuminated manuscripts (mostly for borders).
:
Typically in true scrolls the main "stem" lines do not cross over each other, or not significantly. When crossing stems become a dominant feature in the design, terms such as interlace or arabesque are used instead. Many scrolls run along a relatively narrow band, such as a frieze panel or the border of a carpet or piece of textile or ceramics, and so are often called "running scrolls",[3] while others spread to cover wide areas, and are often infinitely expandible. Similar motifs made up of straight lines and right angles, such as the "Greek key", are more often called meanders.

The arabesque is a form of artistic decoration consisting of "surface decorations based on rhythmic linear patterns of scrolling and interlacing foliage, tendrils" or plain lines,[1] often combined with other elements.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabesque
In architecture and decorative art, ornament is a decoration used to embellish parts of a building or object. Large figurative elements such as monumental sculpture and their equivalents in decorative art are excluded from the term; most ornament does not include human figures, and if present they are small compared to the overall scale. Architectural ornament can be carved from stone, wood or precious metals, formed with plaster or clay, or painted or impressed onto a surface as applied ornament; in other applied arts the main material of the object, or a different one such as paint or vitreous enamel may be used.

Das Rollwerk ist eine Dekorationsform, die hauptsächlich in der deutschen Renaissance des 16. und frühen 17. Jahrhunderts vorkommt. Verschränkte und aufgerollte, durchgesteckte und mehrschichtige, plastisch wirkende Bandformen sind ihre Merkmale, die vor allem bei dekorativen Rahmungen, bei Wappen und Kartuschen vorkommen. Daher wird das Rollwerk auch als Kartuschenwerk bezeichnet, entsprechende Gebilde als "Rollwerkkartuschen".[1] Häufig tritt das Rollwerk in Kombination mit dem Beschlagwerk auf.[2]

Eine Kartusche ist in der Ornamentik ein Zierrahmen. Kartuschen können Wappen, Porträts, Gemälde oder Inschriftfelder umrahmen. Verwendet wurden Kartuschen vor allem von der Renaissance an bis zum Rokoko und wieder im Historismus. Gebräuchlich waren und sind Kartuschen in weiten Bereichen der Kunst und des Kunsthandwerks einschließlich der Architektur.

Ein Ornament (von lat. ornare „schmücken, zieren, ordnen, rüsten“) ist ein sich meist wiederholendes, oft abstraktes oder abstrahiertes Muster mit für sich genommen symbolischer Funktion. Ornamente finden sich auf Stoffen, Bauwerken, Tapeten.
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ornament

Die Arabeske, aus it.: arabesco (dt.: maurisch, orientalisch), ist ein aus spätantiken, hellenistischen Vorbildern entwickeltes Rankenornament. Mit dem Begriff werden sowohl die flächenfüllenden, naturnahen Akanthusranken der Renaissance als auch die stilisierteren Blattrankenornamente in der islamischen Kunst benannt.
