The most common were florals and botanicals. However, since there were so many different patterns produced by numerous different companies, you're likely to find only a sampling of various patterns pictured online. What makes a piece of barkcloth more desireable is the type of pattern, for example a cowboy theme or cocktail print can be more collectible than a floral. What might make a piece rare is a very unusual pattern. And, as always, condition is very important in determining the value of any collectible, particularly fabric. If you are interested in finding out about specific pieces that you have in your collection, I would suggest submitting a question along with a detailed description and photos to Ask a Worthologist.
