A very scarce salesman sample catalogue for drapery fabrics in the 1930s. Th wonderful catalogue includes samples of rayon casement, cotton weaves, pure linen, and satin brocades encompassing such patterns as Tarrytown, Baltusrol, Durban, La Salle (yarn-dyed), Regency Faille Taffeta, Woodmere, Vandeveer, an many others. Many of the fabfic swatches reflect the heavy infuence of metal threads and jewel tones of Art Deco influences, as well as a move to many patterns that would be revived in mid-century modern interior designs after World War II. An excellent resource for interior design and window treatment in the 1930s. The tipped-in fabric samples are of assorted sizes, patterns, colors, and cotton, cotton blends, rayon blends, many heavy brocades, twenty photo plates showing full size fabric samples as drapes, or full pattern. So chipping, edgewear, and wear to corners, but very good.
