A curated matching set of four framed mid-century modern screen-printed textile panels by Britain's most celebrated 20th-century textile designer, Lucienne Day (1917–2010) for Heal's Fabrics.
About the Designer & Patterns:
Lucienne Day revolutionised post-war British interior design with her abstract, modernist furnishing fabrics—many of which are held in the permanent collections of the Victoria & Albert Museum (V&A) in London and MoMA in New York. This four-piece set brings together four of her most iconic designs from the 1950s and 1960s:
"Flotilla" (1952): Kinetic mobile-inspired shapes in acid yellow, emerald green, burnt orange, and black on a mottled slate-grey ground.
"Trio" (1954): Bold chartreuse/olive green horizontal stripes overlaid with delicate black wireframe botanical forms.
"Magnetic" (1955): Rhythmic horseshoe and crescent motifs in acid yellow, ochre gold, lavender, and cream on a deep charcoal ground.
"Sunrise" (1969): Striking geometric sunbeams radiating in dusty rose-plum, slate blue, ochre gold, and off-white.
Details & Condition:
Medium: Genuine screen-printed heavy woven linen-union / cotton furnishing textiles (not paper prints), mounted behind glass.
Frame Dimensions: Uniform matching size of 35 cm × 27 cm each.
Presentation: Matching sleek black wood frames with textured off-white window mounts, ready to hang as a symmetrical gallery wall. Three panels are titled in pencil on the reverse (Flotilla, Trio, and Magnetic), and all four carry Ross's Auctioneers labels.
Condition: Very good overall vintage condition with vibrant colours and crisp textile weave. Flotilla, Magnetic, and Sunrise are clean throughout. For full transparency, "Trio" (the green-and-white striped panel) has some light age-related staining/mottling in the upper-left white stripes consistent with authentic 1950s vintage fabric (clearly visible in the close-up photo).
