Empire Tote Bag

38,00 €
This 'antique' toile de Jouy features patterns particularly favored during Napoleon's Empire, a period when designers were heavily inspired by a fantasized Greco-Roman world. The excavations of the sites of Herculaneum and Pompeii with the early archaeologists, and the military campaigns of the young emperor have an undeniable influence. 

The patterns consist of symbols of triumph, helmets, and laurel crowns, as well as allegorical figures of victory. On streamlined forms, ornaments such as palmettes, draped figures, fauns, centaurs, and sphinxes unfold.

Fabrics and "antique" patterns from the Casal house.
