Pair of Tapestry Blooms Cosmetic Bags

Set of two floral tapestry cosmetic bags, with large blooms and scrolling foliage in red, brown, blue, yellow and green on a neutral ground, reflecting eighteenth-century British botanical illustration as seen in the work of William Curtis (1746–1799). Curtis was among the era's most influential botanical illustrators, founding the 'Botanical Magazine' in 1787, one of the longest continuously published journals of its kind, which combined scientific accuracy with genuine artistic beauty and helped popularise the close observation of flowers among a wider British public. Lovely for anyone who appreciates classic botanical pattern, and a thoughtful gift for the keen gardener or frequent traveller.
