Furnishing fabric sample of screen-printed cotton with cardboard sleeve. The pattern recalls the stylised rock and waves designs often found on the bottom of Chinese dragon robes and features chrysanthemum, commonly used on East Asian textiles. The colours used for this colourway include blue, green, pink, and yellow. T.1042-2000 is the same design in a different colourway.
Three edges are pinked and the cardboard sleeve is glued to the fourth edge. A typed label on it reads 'THE TEXTILE COUNCIL Furnishing Print "SHANSI" from Warner's 'Mandarin' Range - produced for Nov. 1967 Eddie Squires, Warner & Sons Ltd., Mappin House, 4, Winsley Street, Oxford Street, London, W1N 0AS'.
