The Flowering Cornucopia (La Corne Fleurie) after 1789

"The Flowering Cornucopia (La Corne Fleurie)" is a printed cotton textile designed by the French firm J.P. Meillier & Cie. after 1789. The design features a repeating pattern of stylized flowers and cornucopias, or horns of plenty, on a cream background. The fabric is also adorned with vertical stripes of red, each stripe containing a delicate floral motif. This piece is an example of the fashionable textiles produced in France during the late 18th century and is a testament to the artistic excellence and technical skill of the time. The repeated pattern, with its intricate details and vibrant colors, is characteristic of the Rococo style.
