Panel 1811

This 1811 textile panel by Séguin et Cie features a repeating pattern of stylized flowers, a popular motif in early 19th-century design. The panel is framed by a continuous border of stylized shells and floral forms, echoing the classicism of the Neoclassical era. This panel, now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a fine example of the use of printed textiles in decorative arts during the early 19th century.
