France circa 1825-1835

President Andrew Jackson imported this border around 1836 for use in his Nashville mansion, the Hermitage. Most likely printed by the great house of Jacquemart et Bernard, it displays the very essence of the French Empire style, with neoclassical ornamentation banding the bottom, a typical anthemion motif, and yellows ranging from umber to gold that achieve the effect of sunlight reflecting off of metalwork.

This pattern is licensed to Adelphi Paper Hangings by the Ladies Hermitage Association.
