| Place of origin |
This roller-printed cotton furnishing fabric was manufactured by the Calico Printers’ Association in 1920. The purple and orange colouring is typical of the vivid hues of the period. The veining of the background imitates the cracks characteristically found in popular batik prints. English firms bought many fabric designs for calico from French ateliers at this time.
