This is a great source: http://www.citedesarts.com/fr/Aff.php?select_nom=8

The best I've been able to do with it is:
"tableaux en papiers roulés (very basically highly-decorated paintings on paper that could be rolled up),"

As you can see from the illustrations in the references, they are not paintings and probably reliquaries rather than pictures.

" The popularity of Quilling has fluctuated. Work of high quality was achieved by French and Italian nuns in the 16th and 17th centuries; genteel ladies in the Stuart period; ladies of leisure in the Georgian and Regency periods – and it is currently enjoying a modern revival. It also spread to North America with the settlers. Those of us who quill today find we have something in common with Elizabeth, daughter of George III, Joseph Bramah (the famous locksmith), Mrs Delany (pioneer of other paperwork and friend of Jonathan Swift), Jane Austen (who mentions it in her novel ‘Sense and Sensibility’) and the Bronte sisters: quite a distinguished gathering of enthusiasts! ...

"Rolledpaper work, filigree work, or as it is now known, quilling, was a popular pastime for accomplished young ladies in the late 18th/early 19th centuries. The first known forms of this type of decoration, which is made by decorating items with many, many rolled and pinched or crimped pieces of paper, set in pleasing patterns, date from the 15th and 16th centuries.Predominantly using gold and silver covered paper, filigree work was then used to decorate items with religious significance- pictures of saints etc."

Thanks Chris
agree Helen Shiner : Not heard it called this before, though your references are good. I think this is the modern name for what people might do today. Filigree work is probably more appropriate to work done in previous centuries, as your references also make clear.

Thanks Helen. I think that quilling is always made with rolled paper, while filigree may use unrolled strips and emphasises spaces between strips or quills more. So, some filigree is quilling and vice versa.

I agree with what B D Finch has found, what I was able to find deals mainly with Asian arts. Not that of Quebec, where this "tableaux en papiers roules" originated.

pictures in filigree paperwork

I believe this is not a matter of the paper on which the work is done being rolled up (like a scroll), but instead of the works themselves being made of bands or strips of rolled paper. That is known as "quilling" or "paper filigree" in English.

From the Wikipedia entry on quilling at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quilling :
"During the Renaissance, French and Italian nuns and monks used quilling to decorate book covers and religious items. The paper most commonly used was strips of paper trimmed from the gilded edges of books. These gilded paper strips were then rolled to create the quilled shapes. Quilling often imitated the original ironwork of the day."

I think "quilling" sounds a bit more folksy than "paper filigree," so I'd be inclined to use the latter for antiques. This New York Times article uses "filigree paperwork," and I think that option sounds good here, as well:
http://www.nytimes.com/1988/05/08/arts/antiques-paper-filigr...

However, any of the three - "quilling," "paper filigree" or "filigree paperwork" - would be correct.
Peer comment(s):

neutral B D Finch : I believe that paper filigree and quilling are not quite the same, though they do overlap. Filigree can be a particular type of quilling or it can be done without rolling the paper.

"Quilling" and "paper filigree" are synonyms, according to both the sites I cited and your link to "quillingwonderland.com."
