[ART DECO] SEGUY. Suggestions pour étoffes et tapis. 60 motifs en couleur, 1925

First edition.
With 60 illustrations in pochoir colouring on 20 plates.
Rare pattern book.
After completing his studies at the École des Arts décoratifs, Séguy published a series of decorative plates with stylised floral and animal motifs for textile, goldsmith and ceramic works, combining elements of both Art Nouveau and Art Deco. The intensely coloured illustrations illustrate Séguy's interest in the scientific study of nature as a source of inspiration for artistic creation. The pochoir technique, popular in France at the beginning of the 20th century, offered the ideal means of reproducing the strong and bright colours.
