Marie Cuttoli

Marie Cuttoli (née Myriam Bordes; 1879 – 1973) was a French entrepreneur, born in Tulle, and patron of modernist tapestry.

Around 1910, she set up a workshop in her Algerian home to teach the trade to local women; their works were then sold to haute couture houses in Paris.

[4] Maison Myrbor produced embroidered and appliqué dresses, some designed by Natalia Goncharova,[5][6] offered a decoration department, and held major painting exhibitions for artists such as Salvador Dalí and Francis Cyril Rose.

[9] Cuttoli commissioned tapestry cartoons from Georges Braque, Fernand Léger, Joan Miró, and Pablo Picasso in 1927.

[1] She encouraged additional avant-garde artists of the time to weave tapestries based upon their easel paintings.
