This dramatically coloured printed cotton furnishing fabric with a design of intricately connected stems with garlands, berries and leaves was manufactured by F. Steiner & Co. in 1906. It is characteristic of the exotically hued, dynamic Art Nouveau textiles popular in continental Europe at this time.
Frederick Steiner was a chemist who came to Britain in the early 19th century and established his high quality printing firm in Lancashire. The firm remained independent when many other Lancashire firms joined the Calico Printers' Association in 1899. F. Steiner & Co. bought textile designs from leading British free-lance designers as well as from France and Belgium where the vogue for Art Nouveau patterns was stronger than in Britain.
