{"product_id":"marguerite-dusty-blue-slate-wallpaper","title":"Marguerite, Dusty Blue \/ Slate Wallpaper","description":"\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom:0.6em;\"\u003eSpiky, entwined stems form dense vertical channels through Marguerite, holding repeating floral heads and delicate nodding sprigs in a structured, architectural stripe. Sourced from a c. 1904 linen damask finger towel (vingerdoek) in the Rijksmuseum, the design translates a square table-linen border into a continuous vertical repeat—letting the thorny graphic vine carry a room's height while small isolated sprigs dot the open ground between columns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin:0;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;cursor:pointer;margin:0;\"\u003eRead More...\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin-top:1.2em;\"\u003eThe Source\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLinen manufacturers at the turn of the twentieth century actively recruited decorative artists to elevate industrial tableware, bringing modern graphic design straight to the dinner table. Moving away from heavy 19th-century historicism, Dutch artists embraced Art Nouveau, capturing organic forms through flat, geometric stylization suited to mechanical production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCornelis van der Sluys designed Marguerite—Design No. 500—for E.J.F. van Dissel \u0026amp; Zonen of Eindhoven, early in his career. Woven as a complete table service, this finger towel belongs to a set comprising eleven others, thirteen napkins, and a tablecloth. All carried the same motif: large daisy heads caught in a tangle of spined, sinuous vines, their blossoms massed heavily along the borders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original was entirely white-on-white. Linen damask creates its pattern solely by turning the weave structure against itself—so the daisies appeared only where light grazed the satiny warp floats, vanishing as the viewer moved. Cupboards of this white linen, carrying their subtle shadow-play of figures and patterns, were the pride of the woman of the house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTranslating a square, border-bound napkin into a continuous, room-scale repeat meant extracting the outer thorn-and-blossom vine and aligning it into a vertical stripe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe service entered the Rijksmuseum in 1979 as a gift of J.E. van Schendel-Reesink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin-top:1.2em;\"\u003eThe Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSource:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vingerdoek van linnendamast met dessin Marguerite, c. 1904, Dutch.
