Textile Design with Alternating Lozenges over a Striped Background 1840

This 1840 textile design, created by an anonymous artist, features a repeating pattern of alternating lozenges over a striped background. The lozenges are composed of red, white, and black, while the stripes are red and beige. The use of geometric shapes and bold colors is typical of the design aesthetic of the early 19th century, and this piece would have likely been used to create fabrics for clothing or home decor. The design's simplicity and elegance make it a timeless example of textile art.
