Cut-out Decorative Foil (India)
This is a Cut-out Decorative Foil. It was designed by Lockwood de Forest. It is dated 1881–90 and we acquired it in 2014. Its medium is pierced and cut-out sheet brass foil. It is a part of the Product Design and Decorative Arts department.
De Forest ordered large numbers of decorative foils in a variety of shapes and patterns of piercing, often identified with numbers like the room’s teak panels. De Forest drew on traditional textile and metalwork patterns, such as the scrolling vine seen on one foil, in the room’s woodwork, and on the nearby oil lamp and cap.
