Ontwerp voor een tapijt c. 1854 - 1864

This anonymous design for a carpet from c. 1854-1864 is a vibrant example of decorative arts. The artist used a rich palette of colors to create a complex pattern of flowers and vines on a red background. This detailed, stylized pattern is characteristic of the flourishing carpet design of the Victorian era. The design features a central field of flowers with a geometric border that adds a sense of structure and balance to the composition. This drawing, likely intended for textile production, showcases the intricate craftsmanship and popularity of carpets as a decorative element in mid-19th century interiors.
