James W. and C. Ward Textile|Christopher Dresser
ca. 1873 · Wool and silk · European Sculpture and Decorative Arts
Christopher Dresser was one of the most innovative and influential English textile designers of the nineteenth century, but only a small number of textiles woven from his designs have been identified. This piece is of interest because the date of the design can be firmly documented as a variant color way of the same pattern was registered at the London Public Record Office on April 18, 1873.
