This pattern drew inspiration from stage star, royal favorite, and trendsetter Lillie Langtry. Known for introducing the medallion fashion motif, Langtry set a trend for medallion-embellished textiles during the Edwardian period. This motif was later referenced by costume designers for the character Anna in Downton Abbey.
A scarce surviving historical textile with exceptional appeal for private collections, historical costuming, and period garment restoration.
