This wallpaper is reproduced from fragments found on the walls of the dining room at the Thomas Everard House in the historic town of Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia. It is an excellent example of the large scale floral and foliate imitations of damask textiles that were popular in the mid 1700s.

"Flocking" was often used to imitate fabric in wallpaper patterns and was one of the earliest styles of wallpaper. However, the production of flocked papers involved a laborious and expensive process of using varnish to adhere dyed and chopped wool to the paper. A less expensive technique was employed to print the original document of this pattern: by printing a deep color on top of a lighter shade of the same hue, the pattern mimics the effect of flocking. These types of papers were often referred to as "mock flocks."

This pattern is licensed to Adelphi Paper Hangings by The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation.
