Several motifs popularized before 1910 reappeared throughout the
decades before World War II. Perhaps the most common example of
this phenomenon is the stylized rose seen in this lace length from
around 1920. First found around 1900 in work by Scottish artist
Charles Rennie Mackintosh, this moderne rose also became popular
in Vienna and was later adopted in France as the "Poiret rose."
