Textile Sample from Sample Book

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Brown fabric sample with blue floral pattern. The fabric is rectangular. The blue floral pattern consists of various shapes, including flowers and leaves, in a repeating design. The background of the fabric is brown and has a slightly textured appearance. A yellow border surrounds the fabric with small black speckles. A small white label with the number "3501" printed vertically in black text is on the bottom left corner of the fabric. The sample is likely from a textile sample book by an unknown artist.
