Lot description

F. GREGORY BROWN (1887-1941) FOR WILLIAM FOXTON LTD. FRAMED FABRIC PANEL, CIRCA 1922 printed unbleached linen, later framed (71cm x 55cm) Literature: V&A Collection T.325-1934 Note: This furnishing fabric was designed by F. Gregory Brown for William Foxton in 1922. Abstract patterns, like this one of undulating arches, were among the most contemporary designs displayed in the Paris Exhibition of Decorative Arts of 1925. This textile was awarded a gold medal by the judges. The firm of William Foxton Ltd., founded in 1903, produced some of the most innovative artist-designed textiles of the 1920s. It commissioned artists such as Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Claude Lovat Fraser, F. Gregory Brown and Constance Irving. In 1915 William Foxton helped to found the Design and Industries Association. The aim was to improve the standard of British industrial design by exhibiting new designs and communicating information about them to those working in the field.
