What Our Customers Say...

Description

Original Binding, Very Scarce

A very scarce and wonderfully extensive collection of decorative and unique silk fabric samples.

Collated, with nine-hundred and fifty-five samples attached to two-hundred and twenty pages.

With examples of fabrics in a full spectrum of colours, with numerous featuring abstract designs, floral motifs, paisley patterns, and stripes, and with areas of embroidery to a small number.

These crimped fabric samples are each attached to the pages by staples, with a small numbered label attached to each. There is some fraying to cuttings, with a small number partially detached or torn.

To the front pastedown is the French language binder's label 'Gallus'.

Condition

In the original cloth binding, with metal corners to fore edges of boards. Light rubbing to joints and boards. Binder's label to head of front board. Internally, firmly bound. Fabric samples attached by staples, with a small proportion partially detaching, or torn. With handwritten ink numbers accompanying each fabric sample.

Very Good
