AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This cotton upholstery fabric features a surprising and richly ironic design: large orange poppies, with warm and realistic shades, alternate with seed capsules and thin leaves. Inside the petals, unexpected figures bloom: elegant ladies and distinguished 19th-century gentlemen, depicted in period costumes and refined accessories such as top hats and parasols. The effect is an original blend of floral naturalism and theatrical taste, with a touch of surreal irony.
Made from durable and pleasant-to-the-touch cotton, this fabric combines robustness and versatility. Its detailed print, with vivid yet balanced colors, makes it an ideal material for those seeking creative furnishings that can capture attention without being excessive.
Perfect for covering seats, armchairs, or decorative cushions, this fabric brings a touch of originality and lightness into the home. It is also ideal for light curtains or decorative panels in spaces where you want to create an ironic and sophisticated contrast, such as a studio, a creative lounge, or an atelier.
During the Victorian era, floral illustrations often featured allegorical figures, blending botany with social customs. This fabric seems to be inspired by that tradition, transforming poppies into natural stages for ladies and gentlemen. An interesting fact: in 19th-century prints, poppies were associated with dreams and imagination, and in this design, they almost become a visual metaphor for fantastic worlds blooming from the flowers themselves.

Washing and Care:

To maintain the beauty and quality of your fine fabric over time, it is important to follow some simple care instructions:

Washing: It is recommended to wash the fabric by hand or in a washing machine on a gentle cycle at a maximum temperature of 30°C. Use a mild detergent free of harsh bleaches to preserve the vibrant colors.

Drying: Avoid the tumble dryer to prevent compromising the fabric fibers. Hang the fabric outdoors, avoiding prolonged direct exposure to sunlight, which could fade the colors.

Ironing: Iron the fabric at a low temperature, preferably with a cotton cloth on top, to avoid direct contact with the iron and to keep the surface of the fabric impeccable.

Professional cleaning: If used on furniture coverings or large surfaces, professional dry cleaning is recommended for safer and more durable maintenance.

By following these simple guidelines, your fabric will maintain its shine and integrity over time, continuing to enhance your spaces with class and refinement.
