Painted carpet patterns and photographs of patterns. All designs relate to either the 'Medici' or 'Cottage' design ranges, which were manufactured by Stoddard in the 1980s. Patterns generally consist of several seperate pieces of paper, and therefore have been catalogued as single items with multiple parts. Where items are folded and stapled or clipped together the size recorded is that when folded. Some have been given a design number, while a few also note contract details, and more often than not they are dated.
