content: Sanford Mills Mohair velvet upholstery "Sorrento Cameo", 1925. Figured velvet in two heights and densities of cut pile. The pile alternates picks of black and white; this is then over-printed in red, blue, green to give a very varied shading. The ground is a lower and less densely spaced more, open to show the red ground through. The design is longer and more dense, creating a formal conventional foliate medallion and meander design.
