Bird Pattern Pochoir Print in Oriental style – E. A. Séguy (1914) – Art Nouveau Poster Print

This exquisite pochoir design by E. A. Seguy brings together stylized birds, peacock feathers, foliage, and scrolling forms in a richly ornamental composition inspired by the decorative traditions of Central Asia. Two elegant birds occupy the central motif, surrounded by sweeping peacock feathers and sinuous branches, while repeated fragments of the design frame the composition. The striking combination of deep brown, vivid turquoise, cobalt blue, crimson, and white gives the pattern an almost jewel-like quality, characteristic of Seguy’s sophisticated approach to decorative art.

The design comes from Seguy’s Samarkande: 20 Compositions en couleurs dans le Style Oriental, published in Paris by Charles Massin around 1914. The portfolio contained twenty pochoir plates intended as ornamental designs, likely suitable for textiles or wallpapers, and drew inspiration from Central Asian textiles, ceramics, architectural ornament, and other decorative arts. Seguy transformed these influences into highly stylized modern compositions that sit intriguingly between Art Nouveau and the emerging Art Deco aesthetic.
