Textile with Floral Scroll

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Rectangular textile with a floral scroll pattern, mounted on a white background. The textile has a tan base color with a repeating pattern of green floral scrolls and brown flowers. The edges of the textile are rough and frayed. A white frame surrounds the textile. The pattern consists of large flowers with green leaves and stems, and brown centers. The flowers are arranged in rows, with each row slightly offset from the one above and below it. The green floral scrolls are interconnected, forming a continuous pattern across the textile. The brown flowers have a symmetrical, almost circular shape with a prominent center. The overall design is intricate and ornate, with a mix of curved and straight lines. The textile appears to be an antique or vintage piece, possibly from Asia. The artist of this piece is unknown, but it is titled "Textile with Floral Scroll".
