This textile design, created in 1840 by an anonymous artist, features a repeating pattern of stylized flowers with pearl-like pistils and leaves adorned with pearls. The flowers are arranged in vertical rows against a burgundy background, separated by undulating garlands of branches also decorated with pearls. The design, which is likely intended for fabric production, exemplifies the intricate detail and decorative motifs common in 19th-century textile art. The use of pearls adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to the overall design, making it an example of the popular "pearl" motif in textile design of the period.
