Adelphi's Janes & Bolles Collection is reproduced from the earliest
known American wallpaper sample book, now in the collection of Old
Sturbridge Village. It was produced by the firm of Janes & Bolles, which
operated from 1822-1827 in Hartford, Connecticut. The sample book
provides 22-inch square samples of each pattern, with alternate
colorways for most of the patterns. Adelphi offers the Janes & Bolles
papers in their original or in customized colorways.
Often compared to an early American coverlet, the engaging Circle
Ornament pattern is one of Janes & Bolles most distinctive. The overall
unified field lends itself well to either a high contrast colorway, as
in the original blue on white, or more subtle tone-on-tone
interpretations.
This pattern is licensed to Adelphi Paper Hangings by Old Sturbridge
Village.
