Eleventh 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 bundles of semi-abstract flowers with orange petals and dark green sepals and stems, and semi-abstract leaves, colored with purple, and with offsetting, brown thorns, on a brown background with pairs of vertical strips of squares, colored alternatingly with blue and bluish-green, separated by thinner purple stripes. The second design is made up of alternating horizontal strips of blue triangles, separated by clusters of blue pearls, framed by white, scallop-edged lines, on a bluish-green ground. The third design is made up of large, overlapping, semi-abstract leaves, colored with shades of dark bluish-green, with small, light green dots, and large, semi-abstract flowers, with purple and light brown petals, and dark blue stamina.
