Panel (Pillar Print) c. 18th century

"Panel (Pillar Print)" is a textile designed by Stead McAlpin & Co., a firm known for its decorative fabrics. Created in the 18th century, the print showcases a repeating pattern of stylized floral arrangements and classical pilasters, a common motif in textile design of the period. The intricate details and use of black and white create a visually captivating surface that would have been used for upholstery, curtains, or other decorative purposes. The Art Institute of Chicago houses this example of 18th-century textile design.
