Florence c. 1890 - 1917

"Florence" is a wallpaper design by John Henry Dearle, dating from c. 1890 - 1917. It showcases a repeating pattern of stylized flowers and leaves in a flowing, organic arrangement. The design, characteristic of the Arts and Crafts movement, emphasizes natural forms and craftsmanship. The intricate details and the interplay of light and dark tones add depth and visual interest to the pattern. The Art Institute of Chicago houses this elegant example of Dearle's work, which would have been used to decorate homes and public spaces in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
