Circa 1930’s
Fortuny hanging in his “Farnese” pattern, an 18th century
Italian design of intertwining
scrolls and flowers. Tightly woven cotton twill or what some might call
museum cloth, with a ground of
burgundy/red with a parchment overlay. Edged in his signature scrolling
“R” border, professionally lined
and interlined.
Condition: The front is in excellent condition, the
back lining has small holes along the top where hanging
rings might have once been attached but are no longer present. The color
variations that show up in the
pictures is actually the way Fortuny fabrics are printed.
History: Fortuny was a lover
of history and named many of his fabric designs after Italy’s
nobility such as
Barberini, Farnese, DeMedici, Mazzarino all of whom had battles against
one another in history.
