L'Indiscret is a silk and linen damask with a small pattern of stylised flowers in the neo-seventeenth-century style. It records a genuine habit of the Second Empire, when fabric designers were fond of revisiting and reinterpreting the classic designs of the past. The small repeat is the practical virtue: it sits beautifully on seat covers and works equally well at the window, the damask structure giving the little flowers depth without weight.
