Antique Flowers - Orange and Blue Fabric Design

A beautiful piece of fabric, in earth tones and orange, blue, and purple with a faded tan background; this is a beautiful image for our gifts. The fabric design is very much like a paisley, influenced by Eastern Asian and Indian design. The floral is a winding pattern of flowers, paisley, leaves, and vines. This piece of flower fabric was taken from a piece of 19th century cloth, just perfect for a design element. It features orange tulips, green leaves, and orange and blue chrysanthemums in a vine pattern.

About Vintage Flower Fabric Designs

The Victorians wore a lot of black, but they overdid their outrageous ornamented patterns of cloth in their décor, such as curtains, carpets, sofas and chairs, and quilts. The Victorians loved exaggerated style and excess, and were influenced by the "new" Indian and Asian designs that were discovered, as well as Art Nouveau in later Victorian décor. Elaborate earthy floral patterns in wallpaper and fabrics were very stylish.
