Twelfth plate of album with 20 pochoir pattern plates with designs for textiles and carpets, titled "Suggestions pour étoffes et tapis: 60 motifs en couleur" (Suggestions for stuffs and carpets: 60 color motifs), created by E.A. Séguy and published in Paris by Massin & Cie in 1923. The plate contains three designs with semi-abstract motifs inspired from nature, executed with lively colors. The first design is made up of a vertical, undulating branch, colored with brown and purple, flanked by thin, scrolling branches of brown color, with semi-abstract flowers, colored with silver and purple, on a green ground. The second design is made up of vertical, undulating garlands of semi-abstract flowers, colored with purple and dark blue, separated by branches with leaves, colroed with brown, on undulating stipes, made up of silver patches, framed by thinner, undulating stripes made up of purple stipples, on a light blue ground. The third design is made up of thin, undulating, dark blue branches with large, semi-abstract leaves, colored with shades of brown, and outlined with green, on a white background with overlapping eye-shapes executed with two shades of blue.
