Quilt 1810 - 1820

This 19th-century textile, titled "Quilt" and produced by Favre, Petitpierre et Cie, is a remarkable example of French silk weaving. The design features a repeated pattern of oval medallions, each containing a scene with figures in a landscape. The delicate lines and intricate details of the figures and foliage create a sense of depth and texture, characteristic of the Rococo style. The subtle interplay of light and shadow adds to the visual richness of the fabric, showcasing the skill of the weavers. This “Quilt” is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
