The accompanying daybooks, which would have provided details of designer and manufacturer, have been lost, so it is impossible to give a definitive attribution to Knox, but there are strong stylistic similarities with other designs known to be by him, such as 51 & 56.A woven textile featuring an Art Nouveau pattern of stylised flowers, including tulips, and leaves, arranged in squares, in ochre and green, on a red ground.
