The inspiration was ‘Provincetown Geometric” pattern by Warner Company. My rendition of pattern grows around a unit made up of three fundamental components – the ‘middle flower’, the ‘4 angular scrolls’ and ‘4 circular scrolls’. Each component was built around a polar loop of arcs and ellipses.

To achieve the proportions, I drew it out using CAD software and measured off the parameters by arc and by ellipse (‘patterns’ below). The colors are true to the original. I would not make a shirt out of it, but as wall paper, it would be okay.
