Furniture Cover for Table

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The "Furniture Cover for Table" by an unknown artist shows a square piece of fabric with a central design. The fabric is light-colored, possibly white or light gray. The central design is symmetrical, with a floral pattern in darker color, possibly black. The design has four axes of symmetry. The central shape resembles a leaf or a flower with curved tendrils. The border of the fabric features an intricate, curvilinear design with interconnected floral patterns. Four identical triangular sections are positioned at each corner, mirroring the central design's style. The border's pattern matches the central design in color and style.
