Gouache on paper. "This is an original piece of hand-painted artwork for textile design. . It features a wonderful art deco floral C1914. This artwork comes from the archive of Bianchini Ferier, which was sold at Christies, King St, London in 2001. Bianchini Ferrier, based in Lyon, France, was recognised as the leading printing company to couturiers. Clients included Poiret, Vionnet, Chanel, Schiaperelli, and Dior. The company employed top artists, most famously Raoul Dufy." Very good condition: note some tears, and folds in the grubby mount, that do not encroach on the design. Image size is 19" x 27".
