Apple-blossom textile 1883 - 1900

"Apple-blossom textile" is a fragment of patterned fabric produced by the Associated Artists, a group of designers active in the United Kingdom between 1883 and 1907. The textile features a repeating motif of pink apple blossoms on a striped background. The textile, which is now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is an example of the Arts and Crafts movement, a style that emphasized handcrafted objects and natural forms.
