Staal van jacquardgeweven katoen met patroon van bloemen, bladeren en vlinders 1909 - 1924

This textile sample, created between 1909 and 1924 by Dutch designer Theo Nieuwenhuis, showcases a repeating pattern of stylized flowers, leaves, and butterflies woven in golden yellow against a muted green background. The design, likely intended for upholstery or drapery, reflects the popular Arts and Crafts movement aesthetic that emphasized handcrafted, natural motifs and was prevalent in the early 20th century. The piece, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Nieuwenhuis's skilled use of jacquard weaving, a technique that allowed for intricate patterns to be created with precision.
