Sheet with overall floral and vine pattern with dots 1800 - 1900

This anonymous 19th-century "Sheet with overall floral and vine pattern with dots" from the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City is a fine example of a wallpaper design. It features a delicate, repeating pattern of stylized flowers, vines, and leaves on a light green background. The pattern is enhanced by the use of small dots, giving the design a textured quality. This design, typical of 19th century wallpaper patterns, was likely intended to be used in homes and other spaces for decorative purposes, creating a sense of opulence and beauty.
