Textile Sample from Sample Book

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Rectangular piece of fabric with a gold border around it. The fabric is divided into sections. The left section is grey with a repeating pattern of grey, white and gold shapes. The right section is gold with a repeating pattern of gold and white shapes. There are three white stripes, one in the middle and one on each side. The background appears to be a blue-grey surface. A small white label with black numbers is at the bottom. The fabric appears to be from a sample book by an unknown artist.
