Rare Fortuny Border, Circa 1920s, Moorish Design On Cotton Twill

A rare Italian circa 1919 Mariano Fortuny border of densely woven cotton twill. A deep forest green Moorish design on a silver ground with motifs of foliage, bows and flowers within interconnecting geometric frames. The stamp on this border means "Societa Anonima Fortuny" signifying it was from a joint-stock company of 1919 where he was in partnership with Giancarlo Stucky. (This border can be found in the Museum of Capodimonte in the Titian room, formerly the National Museum of Naples. You can also see this border depicted in Fortuny’s book Mariano Fortuny: His Life and Work on page 152, upper left picture.)
