This particular piece, rendered in gouache on paper, showcases an original hand-painted artwork for textile design. It exhibits a captivating late 19th-century Japanese design, featuring fruit, flowers, and motif roundels. Hailing from the Bianchini Ferier archive, renowned for its association with top couturiers such as Poiret, Vionnet, Chanel, Schiaperelli, and Dior, this artwork was part of a collection auctioned at Christies, King St, London in 2001.
Despite being in very good condition, there's slight damage observed at one corner and a small tear along the bottom edge. Additionally, marks and numbering consistent with its use as a design are noticeable. The artwork measures 21 inches (53 cm) by 14 inches (36 cm).
