Sheet with pattern of flowers and circles 1800 - 1900

This anonymous "Sheet with pattern of flowers and circles" from the late 18th or early 19th century is a fine example of a repeating pattern design. The simple yet elegant design features black outlined circles filled with tiny pink dots on a teal background. Pink stylized flower motifs complete the pattern. This work is representative of the decorative arts of the period and would have been used for a variety of purposes, such as wallpaper, fabric, or book covers.
