Art Deco Brocade fabric c. 1925 - 1930

This Art Deco fabric, created sometime between 1925 and 1930, features a repeating pattern of stylized leaves and berries, woven with gold and brown threads. The geometrically precise design is characteristic of the Art Deco movement, which emphasized geometric patterns, stylized forms, and luxurious materials. This particular fabric, on display at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, is a beautiful example of the decorative arts of the era and would have been used for upholstery, clothing, or other interior design purposes.
