Two sheets with geometric patterns 1700 - 1800

This anonymous 18th-century wallpaper design, currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, features a repetitive pattern of stylized floral motifs in shades of blue, brown, and beige. The design is reminiscent of the "chinoiserie" style, which was popular in Europe during the 17th and 18th centuries, and incorporated elements inspired by East Asian art and culture. This wallpaper design would have been a popular choice for domestic spaces, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication to the interior.
