Design for a ceiling 1850 - 1900

This design for a ceiling by Jules-Edmond-Charles Lachaise, created between 1850 and 1900, features a delicate and intricate pattern. The design uses a combination of floral and geometric motifs, with a central square framed by a decorative border, creating a sense of elegance and refinement. The overall effect is a harmonious balance of symmetry and pattern, common to interior designs of the period. The artwork, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s collection, is a testament to the craftsmanship of the 19th century.
