Exposition des arts musulmans : au Musée des arts décoratifs
This is an 1903 Paris catalogue of the Musée des arts décoratifs exhibition of Muslim arts, published by the Librairie centrale des beaux-arts for a French museum audience. Its photographs show ceramic vases, metalwork bottles, and woven textiles, with the pottery shown in glazed blue and cream tones. A designer might draw on the repeated scrolling vine, palmette, and geometric band patterns, which are arranged on the vessel bodies and necks.
