No reserve price!! Flowers and Gentlemen: the decorative...

This cotton upholstery fabric features a striking and richly ironic pattern: large orange poppies, with warm, realistic shading, alternate with seed capsules and slender leaves. Inside the petals, unexpected figures bloom: elegant ladies and dapper nineteenth-century gentlemen, depicted in period attire with refined accessories such as top hats and parasols. The effect is a unique fusion of floral naturalism and theatrical taste, with a vein of surreal irony. Made in durable, pleasantly soft cotton, this fabric combines robustness and versatility. Its detailed print, with vivid yet balanced colors, makes it an ideal material for those seeking creative furniture that catches the eye without being overbearing. Perfect for upholstering seats, small armchairs, or decorative cushions, this fabric brings a touch of originality and lightness into the home. It is also ideal for light curtains or decorative panels, in spaces where one wants to create an ironic and sophisticated contrast, such as a study, a creative living room, or a studio. During the Victorian era, floral illustrations often enriched with allegorical figures, merging botany and social costume. This fabric seems to draw inspiration from that tradition, transforming poppies into natural stages for ladies and gentlemen. A curiosity: in nineteenth-century prints, poppies were associated with dream and imagination, and in this design they become almost a visual metaphor for fantastical worlds blooming from the flowers themselves.

Use a gentle detergent free of aggressive bleaching agents to preserve vibrant colors. Drying: Avoid the tumble dryer to prevent damaging the fibers. Hang the fabric to air dry, avoiding prolonged direct sunlight, which could fade colors. Ironing: Iron the fabric at a low temperature, preferably with a cotton cloth over it, to avoid direct contact with the iron and keep the fabric surface flawless. Professional cleaning: If used for furniture coverings or large surfaces, professional dry cleaning is recommended for safer, longer-lasting care.
