Waterlilies by Arthur Silver and the Silver Studio

Waterlilies

Designer: The Silver Studio (attributed)

Manufacturer: Warner & Ramm

Designed 1894

Silk tissue

77.5 x 62.5 cm (31 x 25 inches)

Warner & Sons archive sold at Christie's, London, 10th July 1972. This was Warner's most popular 'Art Nouveau' design. It appears to be related to a series of designs of which five are represented at the Warner Fabrics Archive. All are similar in style and colour and the other five are attributed to A H Mackmurdo, this design, dated 1894, is at The Victoria & Albert Museum (1972 - T.572) but this bears no reference to Mackmurdo.
