Drapery Panel, circa 1910

Summary

Textiles were an integral part of the Arts and Crafts interior. Designers emphasized the use of stylized geometrical motifs to harmonize with furniture, ceramics, and artwork. The ideal was to create a simple, yet unified interior environment, which was a reaction against "fussy" Victorian interiors.
