"Sarrazin" Textile

Emile-Jacques Ruhlmann

ca. 1917 · Printed linen · Modern and Contemporary Art

Ruhlmann used the same basic motif—a stylized Cedar of Lebanon tree set within an irregular circle—on this textile and related wallpaper (MMA 2005.334), though on the textile each motif is offset by an added circle of dots. The pattern was produced in alternate colorways.
