Large antique textile swatch book presented as a folding cardboard plate, offering four pages with approximately 290 carefully organized samples. The set features a wide variety of ribbons and linear patterns, with a chromatic dominance typical of the 1920s, mixing blue, purple, and brown tones. The numbered grid structure and handwritten annotations suggest professional use, likely in a workshop or for commercial presentation. Despite some localized partial losses, the overall presentation remains very coherent, preserving all the graphic and decorative richness of the composition.
