Adelphi’s Early-Twentieth Century
Collection draws on the work and influence of the Wiener Werkstätte in Vienna and
the French Moderne movement--later known as Art Deco--two of the
most influential design schools of the century. Designers in Vienna
and in Paris inspired and influenced a generation of designers
throughout Europe and the United States, who created a huge variety of
patterns that combine fantastic organic and geometric forms with a
vibrant color palette.
Although produced by a well known French
firm, the designer of this quintessential
Deco pattern has not yet been identified. The subdued color palette and
highly stylized but recognizable trees and figures create a quiet
and somewhat mysterious tone.
This pattern is licensed to Adelphi Paper Hangings by the
Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum, Smithsonian Institution.
