In the early 1900's, Mariano Fortuny developed his own unique method for printing fabrics based on his years of studying ancient alchemy and dying techniques and his extensive experimentation with different fabrics, dyes, and processes. The production of these textiles was the culmination of his knowledge of engineering, color, design, and art into one manifestation of pure artistic genius. In 1919, Mariano Fortuny moved the production of his textiles from the workshop in his home to a former convent on the island of Giudecca. It was that he installed larger versions of the machines he designed and built in order to print his fabrics on a wider raw material. Thanks to the efforts of the late Countess Elsie Lee Gozzi and most recently the Riad family, production of these renowned fabrics is still continuing in the same factory, using the same machines and techniques that were developed by Mariano Fortuny nearly a century ago and handed down from generation to generation. Great find, straight from Italy. The following fabric came from a designer in Italy who was selling off his stock of vintage and new fabrics. The Fortuny Fabrics being listed on this round of listing are the last of my Fortuny allotments from my last purchase. Dont pass these up. This is one piece of Alberelli Pattern Fortuny Fabric measuring, dimensions listed above. The background color is a bronzy brown tone with gold to bronze matalic printing overlay. This is a classic Fortuny urn and flower motif.
