Suggestions, Pl. 7
Seventh plate of album with 20 pochoir pattern plates with designs for textiles and carpets, titled "Suggestions pour étoffes et tapis: 60 motifs en couleur" (Suggestions for stuffs and carpets: 60 color motifs), created by E.A. Séguy and published in Paris by Massin & Cie in 1923. The plate contains four designs with semi-abstract motifs inspired from nature, executed with lively colors. The first design is made up of a thin, undulating strip of leaves, outlined with brown and colored with dark shades of green, on a white background with intermittent, slightly undulating, light green horizontal stripes, framed by two black vertical stripes, outlined by two thinner light green stripes. The second design is made up of thin, interlacing branches, colored with brownish-gold, with stylized flowers, executed with white and shades of green and purple, and large leaves, outlined with brown and colored with black, on a light brown ground with brownish-gold spots. The third design is made up of vertical, undulating branches, executed with yellow and black stripes, with thin offsetting branches and offsetting semi-abstract, heart-shaped leaves, executed with shades of purple, separated by thinner, undulating branches with offsetting branches, colored alternatingly with gold and dark grayish-blue. The fourth design is made up of a zig-zagging branch, colored with brown and with semi-abstract fruits, executed with grayish-blue and yellow, separated by strips of thin, golden diagonal stripes, on a black ground with overlapping scales, executed with shades of green and bluish-gray, framed between two thin, vertical, black stripes.
