Tafellaken van linnendamast met meidoorns 1900 - 1925

"Tafellaken van linnendamast met meidoorns" (Tablecloth of linen damask with hawthorns) is a linen tablecloth designed by Dutch artist Chris Lebeau. It is a beautiful example of Art Nouveau design, showcasing a delicate, stylized pattern of hawthorn branches and flowers. The tablecloth was created between 1900 and 1925 and is currently held in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. The repeating floral motif is characteristic of Art Nouveau, a style that emphasized organic forms and flowing lines. Lebeau's design is a testament to the beauty and practicality that Art Nouveau brought to everyday objects.
