Mid Century Lurcat Style Margot of Paris Fish Needlepoint Tapestry
Description
Mid-Century Modern (MCM) fish-themed needlepoint tapestry, a signature design from the famed French house Margot de Paris. Framed in bright yellow simple frame, measuring 23 x 28.5 inches.
Design Details
This specific pattern is often titled "Aquarium" (Model No. MRC15247) and reflects the stylized, vibrant aesthetic popular in the 1950s and 60s. Margot de Paris was renowned for producing these high-quality, pre-printed canvas kits that allowed home crafters to create gallery-quality textile art.
Artist Influence: The design is heavily inspired by the works of Jean Lurçat, who led the modern tapestry revival in France with his bold, symbolic nature motifs.
