Sheet with red and green zigzag pattern 1800 - 1900

This anonymous 19th-century "Sheet with red and green zigzag pattern" from the Metropolitan Museum of Art showcases a repeating geometric pattern of red and green zigzags on a cream-colored background. The simple yet striking design, characteristic of the time, likely served a decorative purpose, perhaps as part of a textile or wallpaper. The piece's faded colors and slight imperfections add to its historical charm.
