Signature intertwined in the decoration ... but what does it read ???

It reads CARLY - and I think that is a brand name from the Belgian decorating company Dolhain. Will check it out as soon as P. gives me back the Dolhain book...

As I have the book, there was a Carly decorating company in Chenée Belgium. They were the competition of Pierre Jost from Dolhain.
It shows no signed pieces but they were big enough to get a royal visit at a fair in Brussels in 1927.
Technical details Ivo might give you when he gets his book back (but not just yet).
