Description
This sample book of upholstery fabrics, titled *Tissus*, is bound in cardboard with dimensions of 18 × 29 cm, showing signs of wear. The volume contains 29 samples of thick textiles, ten of which are identical on both sides, reflecting an era when manufacturers offered dual-purpose fabrics or symmetrical patterns for upholstery. Dated to the early 20th century, such collections likely served as references for upholsterers, decorators, or manufacturers, providing insight into the motifs, textures, and colour schemes fashionable at the time. The bibliophilic interest lies in the rarity of these compilations, which capture not only the evolution of textile techniques but also the aesthetic trends of a pivotal period between traditional craftsmanship and the nascent industrialisation of interior fabrics.
