Antique Arts and Crafts Block Printed Lamé with Lambs: C1910/20 Britain
An original Arts and Crafts movement block print depicting a repeating pattern of stylized lambs, fences, and foliage, highlighted by metallic lamé threading.
Textiles from this era—championed by legendary design studios and artists like Mariano Fortuny and contemporary hand-block studios like Sarah Burns Patterns—often feature deep madder reds, earthy terracotta tones, and structural rustic motifs. The use of metallic lamé adds an iridescent shimmer to the print, catching the light across the silk ground
Features stylized lambs facing both directions against a densely patterned background of grasses, typical of mid-century block-printed narrative textile panels.
We have photographed the textile against an antique wooden frame to give an example of how it would look framed. The frame is not included.
