Pattern books became increasingly popular in Europe and the United States during Moore’s career. Consisting of textile samples and drawings of decorative details from objects, architectural elements, and buildings, they provided innumerable sources for designers, artisans, and architects. Together with Moore’s textile collection, this book of samples, part of a seventeen-volume set, offered a lexicon of patterns and textures that inspired his decorative vocabularies when crafting silver for Tiffany.
