Bargello, from our Dauphine collection, is a contemporary take on a traditional fish-scale repeat system. The design was inspired by shell motifs, often used in Rococo architecture as embellishment, along with flowers and scrolls. Images 1, 2 and 3 illustrate the design process, below are a few of our favourite images of shell motifs and fish-scale repeat systems.
