Design for a ceiling 1850 - 1900

"Design for a Ceiling" is a decorative design by Jules-Edmond-Charles Lachaise, dating from 1850-1900. The design showcases a symmetrical, elaborate frame with intricate details and decorative flourishes. The use of delicate floral motifs and scrollwork suggests a Rococo influence, characteristic of the 18th century, while the composition of the frame evokes the classical symmetry of the Renaissance. This design, currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to the artistic and decorative trends of the 19th century.
