This textile panel, created around 1800 by the French firm J. P. Meillier & Cie, showcases a repeating pattern of delicate floral motifs and intertwining ribbons. The intricate design, characterized by white-on-gray coloration, reflects the prevailing Rococo and Neoclassical styles of the time. The panel, now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, likely served as a decorative element in a grand interior, exemplifying the artistry and craftsmanship of the French textile industry during this period.
