Papillons 18 Canvas Print — Modernized After Séguy
Description
A modernized adaptation of Papillons, plate 18, after E. A. Séguy. Coral flowers, golden butterflies and turquoise wing patterns meet in four asymmetrical panels. This colorful Art Deco butterfly canvas print pairs the decorative energy of Séguy’s Papillons with the sculptural finish of ADP Bestiary.
Butterfly wings arranged as decorative panels
The largest upper panel places ochre and black butterflies among coral-orange flowers on raspberry pink. Curved wing-eye motifs form narrow side panels, while turquoise butterflies gather against deep blue below. Fine gold-toned divisions hold the different patterns together.
Séguy’s Papillons 18, reinterpreted
The historical reference is plate 18 from Papillons, the decorative portfolio published by Tolmer in Paris around 1925. Art Deco Polis reimagines its wing patterns, contours and depth, blending the source composition with the faceted forms and painted inlay effects of its Bestiary collection. This is a contemporary adaptation, rather than a faithful facsimile of the historical plate.
Color and pattern for a composed interior
Give the panels space against an ivory or softly neutral wall. Deep blue upholstery, warm wood or a small coral accent can connect the bright motifs to a living room, an entryway or a reading corner. Gold tones, lacquer-like surfaces and dimensional effects are represented within the printed image.

Picture it on your wall
- Measure the space. Include the furniture below it, nearby doors and any other artwork.
- Mark the outline. Use paper or removable painter's tape to show the width and height, checking that it is suitable for your wall finish.
- Step back. View the outline from where you normally sit or enter the room. Leave enough space around it for the composition to feel comfortable.
A smaller canvas can work as an accent or within a group. A larger canvas gives the artwork more presence on an open wall. Room photographs are styling references; use the listed dimensions when planning the fit.
