Collection d'anciennes étoffes : réunies et décrites

Errera, Isabelle, Musées royaux d'art et d'histoire (Belgium) · 1901 · Bruxelles : Falk fils · 18 pictures

A catalogue of historic textiles gathered and described by Isabelle Errera, published in Brussels in 1901 by Falk fils with the Musées royaux d'art et d'histoire, aimed at collectors and museum scholars. Its plates show fabric fragments with damask-like woven patterns in tonal silver-grey and dark ground, including scrolling acanthus-style motifs, medallions and repeating floral sprigs, plus a page of numbered entries with small swatches that a designer could use for historic pattern repeats and ornament structure.
