Exceptional professional textile sample album bringing together over 5000 fabric fragments carefully mounted on cardboard sheets, offering an exceptional overview of patterns and weaves from the early 20th century. The collection presents remarkable visual richness with a wide diversity of checks, stripes, geometric patterns, and solids, typical of industrial textile productions from the 1920s-1930s. Due to its unusual format and density, this album resembles a true commercial representation or creative tool, probably intended for a workshop, a merchant, or a textile house. A spectacular piece, as decorative as it is documentary.
