Century Mosaic- The Professional Mosaic Manufacturer: Things You Do Not Know About Arabesque

Nowadays, Arabesque is surely the most popular pattern in Europe and America. Since it looks extremely like the lantern shape of the East, it is generally called lantern pattern in China. As a traditional Chinese decoration and lighting equipment, lanterns not only have practical value, but also are a symbol of joy and unity. It can really be said that Arabesque is popular all over the world.
But seriously speaking, Arabesque is a complicated and luxuriant adornment, and its specific method of expression is to repeatedly utilize geometric figure in one plane. Its geometric patterns are derived from the images of animals and plants, and its techniques can form plane decorative features with symmetric sequence and unlimited extension. Such art is an important element of Islamic art, commonly seen on the walls of the mosque.

The geometric style of Arabesque hadn’t been popular in the Middle East or the Mediterranean basin until the golden age of Islam. During this period, copious literature of mathematics from ancient Greek and India were translated into Arabic and collected in an institution for academic research- the House of Wisdom in Baghdad. Just as the rise of the Renaissance in Europe in later times, the mathematics, science, literature and history of Islam integrated with each other, exerting extremely profound influences.
