Ornamente der Gewebe
Ornamente der Gewebe is a German plate book of textile ornament, edited by Friedrich Fischbach and published in 1874, held by Heidelberg University Library. The pages show woven and printed pattern swatches arranged in grids of lettered panels, with some green, brown and cream colourways. A designer could take repeat structures, damask-style motifs and bird and floral figures from them for fabric or wallpaper work.
