4 lengths Egyptian Revival
1870s

With the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869, Egypt became a source of interest for designers. Christopher Dresser, Bruce Talbert and Owen Jones were all heavily influenced by an Egyptian revival. The colour combination is stunning..



I have four drops of this striking fabric which was bought in France.
