PATRIMOINE COLLECTION

PERSIENNE
Persienne is a Lampas with a satin ground worked in subtle pastel tones and with a design à la dentelle (in the lace style) typical of the late 17th century. The stylized fruit and flower motifs are organized in a network of lozenges, which are richly ornamented with leafy vines and other small elements. Also known as persiennes, the décor à dentelle are inspired by contemporary fashion and reflect the passion of the era for refined drawing style which can be found in 17th century clothing and in furnishings. The coordinating background patterns: CORSET and GUIPURE delicately coordinate with this French Regency style lampas.

COUR DU SIAM
Lampas on a cognac-colored satin ground highlighted with brilliant silk and thread bearing a metallic gold aspect. This beautiful silk fabric presents an elegant composition in which indecipherable forms mingle with flowers and foliage typical of 18th century designs. Sometimes known as “bizarres” or “furies” these richly brocaded silks which appeared after 1690 reflect the taste of the time for the Eastern aesthetics.

VITRAIL
This elegant design by Maurice Dufrène, a leading figure of the French decorative arts movement in the early 20th century, was originally developed as a fine damask in1911. It was then woven as a brocatelle for the celebrated autumn show that same year. The style of the motif is typically Art Nouveau, with entwining foliage balanced symmetrically by rhythmic sets of graphic lines characteristic of the modern Art Deco style. Usually these decorative and architectural styles are very distinctive, but here they blend subtly in this textile design. This stems from Dufrène's desire to adapt his creative work to the evolving tastes of the time.

TULIPES
A delicate parterre of stylized tulips adorns the surface of this velvet, while the restrained and well-balanced arrangement is in the Art Deco spirit. The smooth frosted appearance of the pile is enhanced in colors subtly oxidized by threads of lurex at the base of the velvet. The 6 dense and luminous colorways will enhance both classic and contemporary furniture.

JARDIN D'HIVER
This magnificent lampas was first produced in 1866 and is based on a Japanese drawing by Grand Frères, owners of the weaving factory since the beginning of the century. The design shows the tree of life, luxuriant with flowers, fruits and multicolored birds, flourishing on two branches with an 87cm high repeat necessary for cutting. The freshness and delicacy of the design is typical of Japanese prints and ceramics brought to Europe in the mid to late 19th century.

LEONARDO
In the style of XVIth century Italian materials, this brocatelle is from a document found deep in our archives. The oriental design of stylized flowers, floral scrolls and foliage is subtly worked with linen and shappe silk threads, giving an appearance close to chiselled velvet.

DA VINCI
This small checkerboard motif from Leonardo is woven in the same quality. Da Vinci coordinates subtly with each of the colors of the brocatelle.

Chair Upholstery: Leonardo.
