Etablissement Vergnes et Barlan (French, active since 20th century)
Description
Set of four hand beaded embroideries featuring sectioned geometric patterns. Two consist of floral and foliate motifs; one is primarily orange, the other is primarily green. Two consist of more geometric designs both in blue and gold; one is more circular with scrolled motifs, one is more rectangular with black borders. All are crafted with short and long glass beads, rhinestones, faceted glass cabochons, gold metal threads and silk cords on a tulle base.
These decorative elements were often used to embellish clothing or accessories during the Art Deco period.
