Book of designs, ornamental parquet floors and borders.
A trade catalogue of 1892 issued by the Interior Hardwood Company of Indianapolis, showing parquet floor patterns and borders for builders and buyers of wooden floors. The pictures are rows of colour-printed sample strips in oak, mahogany, cherry, walnut and rosewood, with geometric interlace, star, and checkerboard motifs that a designer could adapt for tile, textile or inlay patterns.
