Part of a large collection we recently acquired a sample book of Nicolas Yemeniz silk brocade fabrics. You rarely see these up for sale with most pieces either in private collections of museums. This book contains 129 samples in total with a wide range of colors, styles and designs. Perfect study pieces or for reproduction. Photos are a good representation of actual color and condition.
Taken from Wikipedia:
Nicolas Yemeniz was a manufacturer of silk fabrics for furniture and a bibliophile naturalized French in 1817, born in September 1781 (according to his naturalization certificate) or April 15, 1783 (according to his marriage certificate) in the island of Chalkis-les-Constantinople (now Heybeliada, Turkey) and died on April 30, 1871 in Lyon. He came from an ancient aristocratic Phanariote family.
