Three designs for painted borders to decorate a room 1820 - 1897

This watercolor design by Jules-Edmond-Charles Lachaise, created between 1820 and 1897, showcases three decorative border concepts. The top border features intricate floral motifs in shades of red and gold against a green background. The middle border presents a geometric design with blue and white accents on a brown background. The bottom border boasts a repeating pattern of red and gold, reflecting a traditional Rococo style. This work, held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, demonstrates Lachaise's talent for decorative art and his mastery of watercolor techniques.
