Fourteenth 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 thin, interlacing branches with leaves, colored with brown, and large, semi-abstract flowers, colored with red, purple, white, and brown, on a light brown ground. The second design is made up of thin, interlacing branches with large, stylized flowers, colored with shades of brown and pastel green, and flanked by large, semi-abstract leaves, colored with dark green, on a dark bluish-green ground. The third design is made up of thin, vertical branches, flanked alternatingly with scrolling leaves, colored with stripes of two shades of green, and flower buds, colored with light brown and brown dots, separated by pairs of thin, undulating, vertical, brown stripes, on a white ground. The fourth design is made up of alternating, semi-abstract flowers with scrolling sepals, colored with purple and brown, and tassel-shaped petals, colored with white and shades of brown, flanked by semi-abstract leaves with offsetting thourns, colored with dark green, on a pastel green ground.
