This 19th-century design sheet features three different decorative borders intended for plate embellishment. The anonymous artist has skillfully crafted each border using a combination of intricate floral motifs, delicate ribbons, and ornate scrollwork in a Rococo style. The designs showcase a vibrant palette of gold, pink, blue, and green, offering a glimpse into the decorative tastes of the period. This work is an excellent example of decorative art and provides insight into the intricate details and craftsmanship involved in creating fine tableware.
