Design For Textile Fabric: Patent 38,086, June 12, 1906

This is a Design for textile fabric: Patent 38,086. It was designed by Sophia L. Crownfield and made for Cheney Brothers. It is dated June 12, 1906. Its medium is digital reproduction. It is a part of the Exhibitions department.

Crownfield’s patented textile design for Cheney Brothers shows her familiarity with the elements of Japonisme, the style based on the craze for Japanese art and design in Europe and the United States. Crownfield deftly shifted between floral patterns like Cosmos, on the left, to respond to current fashions with a Japanese-inspired design of folding fans and pine branches, a pattern most suitable for a women’s dressing gown
