Sheet with overall pattern of dots in triangular shapes 1800 - 1900

This anonymous work, dating back to 1800-1900, is an example of a pattern design. The artwork, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, is a simple, yet elegant, design of black dots arranged in triangular formations on a peach-colored background. The repetitive pattern evokes a sense of order and rhythm, characteristics common in decorative arts of the period. This piece exemplifies the use of geometric shapes in textile patterns, highlighting the artistry and skill of anonymous designers during the late 18th and 19th centuries.
