1930's Fortuny Hanging in his "Pomegranate" Design of Blue/Green
(Click on smaller images to see enlarged view)
 
Circa 1930’s Fortuny hanging panel with his signature “pomegranate” pattern a 15th century Venetian
design with a ground of blue/green and highlights of cream with deep parchment overlay. Tightly woven
cotton twill or what some might call museum cloth this piece is bordered on all sides with a 2 7/8” wide
“Farnese” border with the same coloring, lined and lightly interlined.

Condition: While the fabric is in great condition the pomegranate design is faded either from age or from
frequently washing this piece, the design is still fully present and would still make a wonderful hanging.

The pomegranate - a textile pattern considered a status symbol in the Renaissance period predominated in
textile production because of its appeal to upper class taste. Mariano Fortuny frequently pulled patterns
from the Renaissance period both for their meaning and decorative effect.
