Vintage Red Poppy Design Art Nouveau Tote Bag

The "Red Poppy Design" (1911) features a striking repetition of red poppies, blending Art Nouveau and Art Deco styles in a unique composition that emphasises the natural beauty of the flower. Red poppies carry deep symbolism, representing both beauty and danger, and serve as a poignant symbol of war remembrance. This design, which captures the essence of its time, weaves together nature, history, and culture, serving as a powerful reminder of societal memory and the era's aesthetic sensibilities.
