Panel (Furnishing Fabric) 1765 - 1775

"Panel (Furnishing Fabric)" is a piece of woven cotton fabric from the 18th century. This artwork is a fine example of decorative textiles from the era, showcasing a repeating pattern of birds and flowers on a white background. Created by Bromley Hall, the piece is currently displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago. While the artist remains largely unknown, the fabric provides insights into the aesthetics of the time. The delicate floral motifs and the birds perched amongst them reflect the Rococo style prevalent in 18th-century Europe.
