Giclée reproductions of Samarkande Patterns.
Around 1914, Parisian publisher Charles Massin released "Samarkande: 20 Color Compositions in the Oriental Style," a collection of 20 pochoir pattern plates created by E.A. Séguy. The plates feature semi-abstract flower motifs inspired by the ornamental designs of artists from Samarkand, and were likely intended for use in textile or wallpaper production. The plates offer a glimpse into the influence of Oriental styles on European design during the early 20th century. Samarkand is in the country of Uzbekistan and was an important part of the Silk Road.
Our Giclee reproductions are printed on acid free cotton rag paper with archival ink. The ink we use has a lightfastness rating of 200 years. This means it should not fade in our life time. Both sizes on our site will fit standard frame sizes. All Seguy Pattern sets match in background and size. The wording is different at the top and bottom but they can pair with other set in the Seguy collection easily.
12 by 16 inches & 18 by 24 inches.
