Piece 1810 - 1815

"Piece" is a floral textile design by Bannister Hall, an English textile designer who lived from 1793 to 1893. This piece, created between 1810 and 1815, displays a rich, intricate pattern of floral motifs. Its intricate design and detailed botanical illustrations are reminiscent of the popular Chinoiserie style of the early 19th century, which drew inspiration from Chinese art and culture. This textile, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection in New York City, showcases the artistry of Bannister Hall and the enduring appeal of botanical designs in textile art.
