Decorative textiles : an illustrated book on coverings for furniture, walls and floors, including damasks, brocades and velvets, tapestries, laces, embroideries, chintzes, cretonnes, drapery and furniture trimmings, wall papers, carpets and rugs, tooled and illuminated leathers
George Leland Hunter's 1918 Philadelphia survey of decorative textiles, covering furniture coverings, tapestries, laces, carpets and leathers, was written for interior decorators and designers. Its plates show lace panels with openwork squares, an oriental-style carpet with a dense lattice of medallions, and a Merton tapestry of figures among foliage, offering designers examples of repeating geometric lace borders, all-over medallion layouts and dense floral tapestry patterning.
