Page of book containing 185 leaves with a collection of lithographs, aquatints, engravings, and other media, with ornamental designs published by Fleury Chavant in Paris, part of the publication "Guide du Dessinateur de l'industrie: une macédoine de dessins variés , tels que fleurs, ornemens, etc. ... Ouvrage destiné aux fabricants et dessinateurs de soieries... et Papiers Peints..." This plate contains three textile designs with stylized floral motifs. The first, possibly for a ribbon or border, consists of a horizontal, undulating garland made up of three thin branches with offsetting scrolls containing stylized exotic flowers and leaves, bordered above and below by two thin, horizontal stripes. The second design is made up of alternating rows of curved lozenges with semi-abstract leaves and four-petal rosettes made up of heart-shaped petaloids with semi-abstract trefoil motifs. The third design, again possibly for a ribbon or border, is made up of an undulating garland with thin branches with scrolling offsets, branches with small, stylized, heart-shaped leaves, and stylized, scrolling wheat ears, between two thin, horizontal stripes.
