Textile designs with stylized flowers and leaves
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 four textile designs with stylized flowers and leaves. The first design is made up of bundles with scrolling paisley leaves and small, semi-abstract flowers. The second design is made up of thin bundles of branches with stylized flowers, flower buds and leaves. The third design is made up of interlacing branches with stylized flowers and leaves, over a clear ground with semi-abstract, round fruits, shuttle shapes, and thin, undulating lines. The fourth design is made up of interlacing branches with stylized, scrolling acanthus leaves and stylized flowers of different types. All the designs are executed with black ink over clear grounds, some of the motifs rendered with black stipples. They were likely used as textile designs for garments or furniture, or as wallpaper designs.
