Bouquets de fleurs, guirlandes de feuilles et semis de fleurs, projets de broderies de gilet, XVIIIème siècle is a 1750 by Anonyme, depicting filigree, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a light beige paper filled with neat rows of flowers and leaves. The flowers are bright—pinks, blues, whites, and reds—stacked in clusters along blue outlines that look like stitching. Tiny green leaves and stems fill the gaps, and some flowers spill over the edges like vines. The blue lines suggest this might be a pattern for embroidery, meant to be stitched onto fabric. The paper looks old, with faint marks and wear along the edges. If you like this kind of floral design, look up filigree for more intricate patterns like this one.
