This 1866 furnishing textile, created by the French firm Tassinari & Chatel, features a lavish floral pattern in shades of purple and pink on a pale green background. The design, characteristic of the Rococo Revival style, showcases intricate detailing and a symmetrical layout, making it a fine example of the decorative arts of the 19th century.
