This versatile historic border has been found in installations on both sides of the Atlantic. A flocked version, in crimson flock on a crimson ground, was used between 1764-1766 in the New Harvard Hall in Cambridge, Massachusetts to edge a large scale damask of the same colorway. In the last quarter of the 18th century, it was printed in black on yellow ochre and hung in Uppark House, West Sussex, England. A third example is the archives of the Victoria and Albert Museum.

The Cable Chain Border works equally well with rich flocked papers, polychrome chintzes or simple patterns, such as Adelphi's Hamilton Urns. It is also highly appropriate choice to supplement plain papers.

This pattern is licensed form the collection of Historic New England.
