Finely woven with floral roundels of peony, prunus, chrysanthemum, and magnolia growing from pierced rockwork against a pink ground, the collar, cuffs, and hems with butterflies, antique treasures, and immortals against a black ground, framed by green-ground bands of peony and prunus borne on meandering vines.


Provenance:
From the Norma Canelas and Bill Roth Collection. Norma Canelas Roth (1944-2022) was a celebrated art collector, patron, and benefactor. An accomplished painter herself, Norma had a gift for anticipating rising artists and overlooked art genres. Norma found inspiration from the arts of other cultures and began collecting Chinese, Japanese, Central Asian, African, and other works of art. She and her husband Bill were well received in the vibrant New York art world of the 1970s. They became patrons of the Pattern and Decoration movement, which New York Times art critic Holland Cotter called “the last genuine art movement of the 20th Century”. Norma and Bill gifted important works of art from their collection to museums including the Orlando Museum of Art and the Polk Museum of Art.
