Folio, 33 by 28 cm. 50 plates, 19 of which are color. Plates show one to three furniture fabrics, and most often, two at a time. The designs often bridge the abstract and the figurative, and the designs could be dense, their repeats, entrancing, sometimes seeming as if they are concealing a secret. The designs are by some of the most important designers and artists associated with Art Deco such as Jacques-Emile Ruhlmann, Germaine Labaye, Francis Jourdain, Raoul Dufy, Benedictus, Michel Dubost, Jean Beaumont, etc. etc. Moderate wear to cover, and light soiling on title page.
