Sheet with overall floral and dot pattern 1800 - 1900

This anonymous 19th century floral print, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcases a dense and intricate design of stylized flowers and leaves against a background of tiny dots. The use of multiple shades of brown, red, and purple, along with black outlines, adds depth and complexity to the pattern. This type of textile design, often used for clothing and household items, reflects the popular taste for floral motifs and intricate patterns during the 19th century.
