Panel 1860 - 1880

This 19th-century "Panel" by Mathevon et Bouvard is a striking example of a decorative textile design. The design is centered around a large, symmetrical floral motif that features a central vase and cascading foliage, showcasing a popular motif of the time period. The intricate detail and contrasting dark and light colors create a sense of depth and visual interest. Created during the 1860s-1880s, it's a fine example of the decorative arts in a period often known for its romanticism and revivalist trends. This piece is currently on display at the Art Institute of Chicago.
