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.
Imperial Measurements: Repeat 19 ¾ inches, width 18 ½ inches, length 11 yards, straight match.
Metric Measurements: 50 cm, 47 cm, 10 m.
