Whether this is a horizontal or vertical stripe design depends on how you wish to see it. It is definitely an art nouveau Gothic stripe. It is Gothic in the sense of soaring church architecture and pointed arches. But there are also a horizontal row of blooming paisley, curling hearts, and zig zag diamonds. Colors in this range from lavender (no actual white) through black, blue, darker lavender, and purples. Lines are in an ultra fine scale that would make spider silk look bulky. (file k14h2 #1661966)
