Rateau
Original colourway on Deep Rich Gold gilded paper
– ABOUT THIS DESIGN –
Inspired by the interiors and screens created for Jeanne Lanvin’s Paris apartment by Armand Rateau on Rue Barbet de Jouy – the culmination of a long collaboration between two remarkable 20th century creatives who shared a deep appreciation of classical antiquity. The scene shows an array of fauna including stags, squirrels, foxes and rabbits running through stylised leaves and aflowers. Rendered in a single tone on a gilded background, the design cleverly uses positive and negative space to create a striking scene.
