This Pugin design featuring a symmetrical outline of three curls on a stem beneath a quatrefoil flower is one of 19 sheets of designs for the ceiling of the House of Lords Refreshment Room. This pattern was intended for the tracery panels of the ceiling frieze of the House of Lords Refreshment Room and was modified in execution.
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.
