English: Candace Wheeler (1827-1923), an American designer, was a partner in Tiffany’s short-lived interior decorating firm Louis C. Tiffany & Company, Associated Artists (1881-1883) along with painter Samuel Colman and designer Lockwood de Forest. When the firm dissolved and Wheeler went on to create her own textile design company, she continued to use the Associated Artists name in 1883–1907 her woman-run design firm. The use of a pile fabric as the ground for a printed pattern – in this case, cotton velvet – was relatively innovative at the time. The three-dimensional texture and light reflected from the surface of the pile contribute to the overall decorative effect of the design. The pattern of daffodils, with sinuous curving stems and leaves, is one of the firm’s designs closest in spirit to the Art Nouveau style. A sense of movement pervades the boldly drawn, naturalistic blossoms twisting and turning in all directions as they might on a windy spring day (The MET).
