Revue des arts décoratifs
Revue des arts décoratifs is a French periodical of decorative arts published in Paris in 1881 by the Union centrale des beaux-arts appliqués à l'industrie, for designers and manufacturers. Its plates show Art Nouveau framed text panels with floral borders, a blue-and-white textile pattern with dark round motifs and stems, a tiled rug with a central rosette, and pale glazed ceramic vases with sculpted handles. A designer might take the flowing stems, rosette medallion and mottled ceramic glazes as period ornament references.
