This wonderful abstract pattern is a masterpiece of modernist textile
design. Its creator took full advantage of the ability of the jacquard
loom on which it was woven to lift each warp thread independently,
resulting in a sprinkling of silver all over the textile. After
weaving, the whole piece was dyed the blue ground color. Finally,
a bleaching paste was combined with newly developed dyes to "discharge"
or remove the ground color and, in the same operation, print the
pattern in vibrant oranges, reds, etc.
