Design for a ceiling 1850 - 1900

This design for a ceiling by Jules-Edmond-Charles Lachaise, dating from between 1850 and 1900, showcases a detailed pattern of intertwining floral motifs in red and blue hues against a delicate background of white with red and blue accents. The design is framed by a wooden border, adding a sense of depth and richness to the overall composition. The intricate details of the ceiling design demonstrate the refined taste and artistic sensibilities of the period. The piece, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, exemplifies the use of decorative arts in interior design during the 19th century.
