Sheet with grid and floral pattern 1800 - 1900

This sheet with grid and floral pattern was made by an anonymous artist using an unknown medium. Looking closely, this work shows a patterned surface that is likely not a painting, but rather a textile. The grid pattern and the repetition of floral motifs indicates that this work may have been created in a factory for commercial use. It reflects a moment in history when handmade crafts began to be replaced by machine-made products that could be sold to a wider audience. It is difficult to place it in time or in a specific region without knowing more. It's cultural references are very generic, without further research it is difficult to know how geography, religion, historical events, social class, political movements, or economic structures might have influenced the artwork. To gain a deeper understanding of this artwork, further research in areas such as textile manufacturing, pattern books, and trade history would be invaluable.
