Tenth 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 three designs with semi-abstract motifs inspired from nature, executed with lively colors. The first design is made up of thin, undulating branches with thin, long leaves, colored with brown and red, and semi-abstract flowers or fruits (?) colored with purple, dark blue, and green, on a cream ground. The second design is made up of thin, vertical, undulating branches, colored with blue and green, flanked alternatingly with stylized flowers, colored with blue, purple, and green, and semi-abstract leaves, outlined with green and colored with brown, on a light green ground. The third design is made up of a vertical strip of semi-abstract flowers, colored with red and white, around brown centers, flanked by semi-abstract leaves, colored with brown and blue, over a grayish-blue ground.
