Textile Sample from Sample Book

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Beige fabric sample with a gold border. The fabric features various patterns, including wavy lines, diamonds, zigzags, and floral motifs in black, white, and orange. The patterns are arranged in sections, with some areas featuring repeating designs. A small white label with black text reading "3762" is attached to the bottom left corner of the fabric. The fabric appears to be slightly curled at the top right corner and has a few loose threads. The background is a gray surface. The image is likely a textile sample from a sample book by an unknown artist.
