Stalen bespanning- en gordijnstof naar ontwerp van Theo Nieuwenhuis in passe-partout c. 1910

This artwork by Theo Nieuwenhuis, a Dutch designer active in the early 20th century, is a sample book of upholstery and curtain fabrics. The design features six fabric swatches, each with a different pattern. The fabrics are arranged in a grid layout, framed in a simple passe-partout. The "Stalen bespanning- en gordijnstof" (Steel Upholstery and Curtain Fabric) collection, created around 1910, showcases Nieuwenhuis's skill in designing textiles for interior use. This sample book, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, provides a glimpse into the artistic trends of the period and the importance of textile design in interior decoration.
