Beautiful Silk Squares...

I stumbled upon this young french label Milleneufcentquatrevingtquatre, which is the year in which the duo were born...1984. They produce stunning scarves on silk, which would look equally well hung on any wall...definitely adding all of the below onto my wish list... They can be purchased from www.lexception.com ranging from €75 - €220.

Beautiful Textiles...

Beautiful textile archives of French engraver, painter, and textile artist Paule Marrot (1902-1987). Early in her career, Marrot shifted her emphasis from painting to textiles to create expressive patterns from the 1920s through the 1950s. Marrot’s bold use of flowers, color and patterns reflect a compositionally modernist style classically associated with the Art Deco movement. Marrot’s artistic influences include the expressive writings of Marcel Proust, as evident in her work Du coté de chez Swann, based on Proust’s book In Search of Lost Time.
