Textile Design with a Seamless Pattern of Swirls Decorated with Haxagrams over a Stippled Background 1840

This 1840 textile design, created by an anonymous artist, features a repeating pattern of swirling shapes decorated with six-pointed stars. The brown background is created with a stippled effect, adding depth and texture to the design. The composition of the artwork evokes a sense of movement and rhythm, while the intricate details highlight the craftsmanship of the time. This design, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, is an excellent example of 19th-century textile design and its use of geometric motifs.
