Ontwerp voor een tapijt c. 1854 - 1864

This 19th-century design for a carpet, created by an anonymous artist, showcases a vibrant and intricate pattern characteristic of the era. The design features a rich maroon background with a repeating motif of octagons and stars in shades of gold, blue, and white. The border, partially visible on the right side, is filled with intricate floral patterns and adds a decorative element to the overall design. This design is likely to have been a source of inspiration for textile manufacturers looking to create carpets with similar patterns and colors.
