Panel c. 18th century

This 18th-century woven silk panel features a repeating pattern of stylized floral motifs on a pink background. The design is reminiscent of the Rococo period's penchant for intricate, asymmetrical patterns. The use of gold thread adds a touch of opulence, typical of textiles meant for luxury garments or interior decoration. This panel, housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, exemplifies the fine craftsmanship and artistic sensibilities of textile production during the 18th century.
