Miami Beach circa 1938...your Hudson automobile pulls onto Ocean Drive on South Beach...a menagerie of blinking neon marquees...hotels with the kind of Art Deco Swank that embodies the modern movement of Art Deco...post Art Deco heading into the swing of the forties...as the bell hop opens your door and retrieves your luggage you are in the lobby of the hotel to check in...carrying your very special hat box...admiring the jadeite green and mirror glass tiles of the sunken fireplace...the chrome railings that envelope the bar area and lead up a swank stairway of terazzo floors...you are brought by your elevator man to the 10th floor penthouse suite with banks of windows overlooking the grand aqua blue Atlantic Ocean. The draperies sophisticated and colorful...epitomizing everything that IS the tropical movement of Miami Beach that took place at a time of excitement...richness...and those who had a appreciation for sophistication and flamboyance...a glitz unparalleled on the southern east coast.
This offering is for ONE out of this world rare beauty from days past...a ready to hang drapery panel...with all the bells and whistles of Art Deco South Beach and the patterns made for the old hotels in Miami Beach in patterns so intoxicating with a grandeur all its own. I have TWO of these available sold individually...both in extraordinary mostly unused condition...lined with a nice cotton...these beauties don’t look to be hung long. A thick and nubby traditional barkcloth...the kind we all love...in a custard cream with dramatic palms that run up the fabric that add a sense of Hawaiiana whimsy...huge cocoa fan palms add an exuberance in fanciful colors...some of the more rare sought after colors in chartreuse citron lime...deep dark teal and creamy turquoise...deep dark merlot and magenta purple pink...creamy lime...with dark chocolate accents. Each panel measures 45 inches wide x 80 inches long made to hang with drapery pins or hooks. Washed...ironed and something time transportive and not just room changing...but life changing.
