- Lambrequin Border - A lambrequin border is a decorative motif and consists of a series of overlapping scalloped or pointed shapes, resembling the drapery of a lambrequin, a type of decorative hanging usually made of fabric or leather that was used to adorn the tops of doors or windows.
In ceramics, the lambrequin border was a popular decorative element in the 19th and early 20th centuries. It was often used to embellish the edges of plates, platters, bowls, and other serving pieces, as well as on vases, jars, and other decorative items. The border was typically applied using a transfer printing technique or hand-painted by skilled artisans.
The lambrequin border was popular in many different styles of ceramics, including those made in the majolica, transferware, and Art Nouveau styles. It was often combined with other decorative motifs, such as floral or foliate patterns, to create a rich and ornate design.
