Textile Sample Book 18th - 19th century

This Textile Sample Book, likely from the 18th or 19th century, was created by Morant and Co., a textile company. This sample book would have been used to showcase a variety of woven trim options to potential customers, allowing them to choose the perfect trim for their furniture, clothing, or other projects. The different colors and intricate patterns of the trims demonstrate the skill and artistry of the textile weavers. This type of artifact is an invaluable resource for understanding the history of textile production, as well as the decorative trends of the period. The book is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
