From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Composition florale en guirlandes, 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 series of floral patterns arranged in curved, wavy lines. The flowers—blue cornflowers, pink roses, and yellow buds—fill the space between blue borders. Tiny leaves and stems connect them in a repeating, almost musical shape. The design looks like it could be stitched onto fabric, with careful attention to how colors and shapes fit together. The paper itself is aged, with a slight yellow tone and a small handwritten number in the corner. If you like this kind of detailed floral work, look up filigree next.
