One
of Fortunys' early 20th century patterns, a panel of loosely woven twill
with a
ground of richly colored ochre, the pattern of foliage and fronds in forest
green. Edged
with its original border, lined inside with thermal lining, backed with
a cream colored
cotton lining. This pattern name is unknown but can be seen on page 148
of the book
Mariano Fortuny by Marsilio, which dates the pattern from 1907
to 1910. The above Fortuny stamp was found when this hanging was professionally
relined. The stamp is short for "Societa Anonima Fortuny", please
notice a V was used in place of a U in Fortunys' name, signifying an early
Fortuny. |
