Offered here for sale are three monumental trade catalogues from the Parisian based textile manufacturing company "Aux Manufactures Réunies" containing wallpaper samples from their 1925, 1928 and 1931 collections.

The three catalogues contain approximately 1,500 beautiful hand-screened wallpaper samples, some overprinted in gold, with various designs and vibrant color combinations ranging from traditional to lyrical, to boldly modern and Art Deco.

Some samples with overlays and borders.

In addition to the various styles, some samples are made of different texture and material reflective of both use and period.

Bindings rubbed along edges. Cloth mostly missing to spine of the 1928 catalogue.

Bindings in overall fair (1928, 1931) to good (1925), interior in good to very good condition. f to vg. Item #19834
