This design by Pugin for a ceiling panel with a quatrefoil shape within a mouchette outline is one of 19 sheets of designs in the V&A's collection for the ceiling of the House of Lords Refreshment Room. The design was used for the tracery panels of the frieze which survived unaltered until 1981.
Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin (1812-52) is widely considered as one of the most significant and influential architects, designers and theorists of the 19th century. Following his conversion to Catholicism in 1835, he identified the Gothic style with Christian architecture and his work and writings inspired and framed the Gothic Revival. In 'Contrasts', published in 1836, he condemned classical forms and ardently praised 14th and 15th-century architecture. Pugin is best remembered for his work on the Palace of Westminster.
