Bead Embroidered Cuff
A Bouquet from Victorian Paris - Series
It took a young 18 year old scientist trying to come up with a drug for malaria in 1856 to stumble upon our first stable synthetic dye for purples, pinks and blues. I applaud you William H. Perkin and promise to name a piece of art in your honor.
You became all the rage in Victorian Paris, so much so they renamed your purple......"mauveine" after the French word for the purple mallow flower. I of course, cannot resist all things mauveine, as you can plainly see in this series of work.
