French antique Chrysanthenum ribbon design

A exquisite wide ribbon design originating from late 19th-century France, most likely produced in the renowned textile hub of Saint-Étienne. This antique piece features an elegant chrysanthemum motif, showcasing the botanical artistry that defined the period's decorative aesthetic. Saint-Étienne was celebrated as a centre of French ribbon manufacturing excellence, and this design exemplifies the sophisticated craftsmanship and artistic refinement characteristic of the era. The chrysanthemum pattern reflects the Victorian and Belle Époque fascination with naturalistic floral imagery, rendered with meticulous detail and harmonious colour composition. This ribbon represents a significant example of French textile heritage, ideal for collectors of antique textiles, period costume makers, or those seeking authentic period embellishments. A testament to the enduring appeal of 19th-century French decorative arts.
