D'Orleans by Towle

Harold E. Nock designed D'Orleans for Towle in 1923. Nock was also known for designing Candlelight, Royal Windsor, Virginia Carvel, Chased Diana, and Rambler Rose for Towle. This pattern should not be confused with Orleans by Watson. Although the names are close the designs are not. This pattern is fairly plain with the main decoration being a motif in the center of  the stem. The more one looks at the pattern the more one realizes there is to the design which more resembles a much older pattern.
