Several motifs popularized before 1910 reappeared throughout the decades before World War II. Perhaps the most common example of this phenomenon is the stylized rose seen in this lace length from around 1920. First found around 1900 in work by Scottish artist Charles Rennie Mackintosh, this moderne rose also became popular in Vienna and was later adopted in France as the "Poiret rose."
