Miami Beach circa 1937 was a time of such spirited glitz and glam...it was almost a experimental time of testing the limits of tourism in a post depression era that catapulted the Art Deco hotel scene into a mellow-dramatic...fanciful...illuminating style that was commissioned as the legacy of mixing tropical patterns with the more serious mohair...velvets...damasks and brocades of the times. When you look back at design history...it would be Miami’s South Beach neighborhood that would ignite a firestorm of interest...then and now come 90 years later. Unbelievable!
This offering is for ONE ready to hang drapery panel...I am offering them as ready to hang newly made drapery panels with brand new almost black out lining...I have FOUR available being sold individually...depicting a Hawaiian spirited design compilation of sheer beauty...style and a aesthetic all its own. The Hawaiian printed were a sisterhood between the land of Aloha and the east coast where Miami was quickly becoming little Waikiki on South Beach...stretching down AIA to Coastal resorts with Hawaiiana and tiki themes...a stretch of resorts as far down as Sunny Isles in what was called “Hawaiian Isles”. Tiki shows...bohemian lodging...the Mai Kai A frame restaurant and mermaid shows at the Castaways Lounge at the Yankee Clipper. Barkcloth was fodder for the tourists...attractive patterns of jungle and tropical botanicals emblazoned as snapshots of memories for which to take back home. The use of black barkcloth such as these timeless swanksters...were a palpable way to ignite excitement in motel hotel room designs...and these capture all the bells and whistles that make these antique draperies the cats meow even today 80 years later. A gorgeous stark black ground that is unfaded and crisp and perfect...orchid purples and lavenders...purple pinks...merlot...bubble gum...deep dark teal...jadeite...dark chocolate...dove gray...wasabi avocado...a zing of chartreuse with white accents. Each measures 47 inches wide x 82 inches long with no side hems...so the fabric itself lends to a look of unused yardage...there is a rod pocket at the top and a 3 inch hem at the bottom. Definitely for someone special...someone who’s been waiting or such classic grandeur to come down the pike...well today is your day. Flawless.
