Textile Sample from Sample Book

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Tan-colored fabric sample with a ribbed texture. The fabric is rectangular and oriented vertically. It has a smooth, slightly shiny surface with thin, raised ribs running diagonally from top left to bottom right. A small white label is attached to the bottom right corner of the fabric. The label has a serrated edge and contains the number 3671 in black text. The fabric is bordered by a thin yellow-beige frame with small darker flecks. The frame appears to have a rough, speckled texture. The overall appearance suggests a textile sample from a sample book, likely used for reference or cataloging purposes. The fabric's texture and pattern are typical of a high-quality textile, possibly used for upholstery, clothing, or other applications.
