This simple pattern was found on a wedding box
made in Paris in May 1804; the box is now in the collection of the
Musee de Papier Peint, Rixheim, France. The document colorway with its
soft pink background and vivid greens is very a la mode for the early
Directoire period.
The scale of the pattern works remarkably well
for rooms of almost any size and acts as an excellent backdrop for wall
hangings. This paper is a superb choice for bed chambers, small parlors
and rooms where a less dramatic effect is desired.
