A 20th Century Gouache Painting - Raoul Dufy Flowers Design for Bianchini Ferier

1900 - 1920
For Sale by Pappilon
Description

A striking Gouache painting by Raoul Dufy (1877-1953) Design for a pattern for Bianchini-Férier dating from the early 20th century. 

Depicting vivid floral arrangements - of triangular form which would have been executed as a design for a textile such as wallpaper or scarves.  Framed in a 19th century French frame, featuring original paint.  

This work has excellent provenance having been sold by Christie's in London on the 16th November 2000.

Painter, draftsman, textile artist, and printmaker Raoul Dufy is remembered for his colorful, playful paintings of landscapes, interiors, and scenes of leisure—at the regatta, opera, and races—along the French Riviera. Though he experimented with other styles, he was a devoted follower of Fauvism. Dufy initially looked to the Impressionists for inspiration but was forever changed by his exposure to the vivid canvases of Paul Cézanne, André Derain, and Henri Matisse. He worked with watercolor, charcoal, oil, and acrylic, imbuing his scenes with liveliness as he painted his figures in rapid strokes atop thin washes of color. Dufy’s work was well received during his lifetime, and in 1952, he won the International Grand Prize for Painting at the Venice Biennale. Today his work belongs in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Tate, and the Musée d’Orsay, among others, and a number of his paintings have sold for more than $1 million at auction.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

In the early 20th century, prominent French artists collaborated with luxury textile houses like Bianchini Ferier to create hand-painted floral and geometric patterns. Gouache was chosen for its opacity and rich colour saturation, allowing artists to render crisp, repeatable pattern studies for silk and fashion fabrics.

These works feature water-based opaque pigments bound with natural gum, applied directly onto thick paper or card. Once dry, the artwork is mounted on acid-free backing paper and sealed within a glazed wooden frame to protect the matte paint surface.

Authentic textile studies often present grid lines, colour trial swatches, or mirrored repeat motifs along the borders. Inspecting the paper texture, hand-painted details under magnification, and accompanying stamps or inventory numbers helps confirm period authenticity.

Position framed works on paper above a sideboard, console table, or within a curated gallery wall alongside neutral tones. The combination of structured floral motifs and a textured wooden frame adds historical depth to contemporary and classic rooms alike.

Keep gouache paintings away from direct sunlight and areas of high humidity to prevent fading, paper warping, or pigment degradation. Ensure the artwork is fitted with UV-protective glass and archival mounting materials to maintain its condition.
