Bespanningsstof, jacquardweefsel met patroon van spitsovalen met wingerdranken, goudgele inslag op beige ketting c. 1920 - 1930

This piece of textile fabric, "Bespanningsstof, jacquardweefsel met patroon van spitsovalen met wingerdranken, goudgele inslag op beige ketting," is an example of the work of Dutch textile designer Theo Nieuwenhuis. The fabric, made from a beige warp thread with a gold-yellow weft thread, features a woven pattern of elongated ovals with vine-like patterns, a design style that was popular in the Art Deco era of the 1920s and 1930s. This piece, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Nieuwenhuis's mastery of jacquard weaving, a technique that allowed for intricate designs in fabrics.
