Trellis: Modern/Not Modern?

Modern as a lattice pattern looks

there is a conflict (if one were a stickler for modernism.)

Vienna's Schönbrunn Palace is a late -18th-century garden of lattice.

One of the basic principles of modernism is "Make it New," to quote Ezra Pound. The trellis is a revival...a Romantic revival at that.

Treillage was the ultimate in ostentatious European taste

that Modernists were rebelling against.

Robert M. Kelly writing about the pattern in the Old House Journal remarks on how the Romantic poets were stunned by the idea of a trellis wallpaper bringing beloved nature into the home. When Percy Shelley first saw trellised wallpaper festooned with flowers and grapes in London about 1800 he had to touch it and then said (poetically), "We must stay here; stay for ever."

Fifty years later the trellis was still fashionable enough for it to figure in William Morris's early wallpaper designs

I've been posting about trellis pattern, probably because like Elsie de Wolfe I was frightened by the wallpaper when I was a child. I do recall a trellis with ivy in the kitchen.

Can there be a Romantic Modernism?

Or is it an oxymoron?
