Liberty Petronella Cushion
Description
The Petronella print pre-dates the Liberty store and was inspired by an Oriental floral drawing from a 1820s Liberty archive book. Persian style pinks and carnations were drawn in symmetry, to create a medallion layout. This design was selected for the collection by Jet Pijzel-Dommisse. Soon after opening on London's Regent Street in 1875, trading exotic goods and textiles from the Far East, Arthur Liberty began working with local artisans and manufacturers to produce Liberty's own textiles and objets d'art. By the 1890s Liberty Art Fabrics were a byword for the very best of Avant Garde textile design.
