I purchased a cache of original textile designs in Paris about 17 years ago. They are incredible works of art by unknown French textile designers. I love being able to study the brush strokes and meticulous detail. I have several framed and hanging on my walls.
This design (numbered 284) buy features purple and cream flowers with green accents. It is a viney floral on a gray seaweed (style of textile illustration) and cream ground. Seaweed. Prints were very popular in the late 1800s so, I would date the design to this time period. I feel confident in my assessment because I am a textile designer and have studied (obsessed on!) textile design history.
The painting was created with gouache paint on very thing paper. The painting itself is about 4” square and mounted on a piece of paper (that has some age).
