France, Alsace

The entity documented as France, Alsace refers to an artist or workshop specializing in the production of printed and woven textiles within the Alsace region of France. Active during a crucial period spanning the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, the verifiable record indicates activity between 1780 and 1835. This era saw significant shifts in European decorative arts and textile manufacturing.

The production centered primarily on furnishing and functional textile arts. Fifteen textiles attributed to this source are represented across major institutional holdings. The documented works include furnishings such as a Panel and a Panel (Furnishing Fabric), alongside several examples of accessory items, including multiple registered Handkerchiefs. These pieces demonstrate the distinctive regional designs and technical processes employed in eastern France during this transitional era.

The historical significance of this output is established through representation in prestigious collections, including the Art Institute of Chicago. These surviving textile examples provide key insights into France, Alsace prints and design history. Due to their age, much of this material resides in the public domain, ensuring that documentation of these museum-quality designs and patterns is often available as downloadable artwork for research and study.
