The Cockatoo’s Tropical Dream – Vintage Pattern Gifts
The Cockatoo’s Tropical Dream
This vintage tropical toile pattern integrates antique illustrations of a Cockatoo and of palm trees from Diderot’s Encyclopaedia, old texts from Le Charivari french magazine, and other decorative elements. The words “Au Grand Colbert” appear prominently in the old French newspaper texts – this was a French department store before 1900, and later became a brasserie restaurant.
