Historic swatch, french design

Vertical, rectangular piece, made by joining together three fragments. Ocher background with a floral plant decoration in gold, green, beige, and blue, forming curving branches that ascend vertically with bunches of small flowers dotted along them. It is lined in a beige supporting fabric.

Floral design with a composition that flows with a sense of freedom and fantasy, which was very much the taste at this time when motifs became smaller and more stylized than the previous bizarre, anarchic and motley motifs.
