Textile Sample from Sample Book

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Dark blue rectangular textile sample with repeating gold pattern of diamonds and floral motifs. The sample has a gold border around its edges. Two large floral motifs are visible, one on the left and one on the right side. The background behind the sample is light blue with some darker marks and a thin white border on the right. A small white sticker with black text reading "3790" is on the upper right corner. The sample is likely from the book titled "Textile Sample from Sample Book" by an unknown artist.
