[QUOTE="Finnclouds, post: 9727598, member: 84680"]Right, that’s why it was so familiar! Pomegranates have been an enduring motif and was used a lot in the Morris/art nouveau era. The time frame is also right for what your seller said. This is French textile from 1760. [ATTACH]472863[/ATTACH] And a photo of pomegranate tile used at some London tube stations.
