French circa 1820-1830

Ashlars, or square building stone patterns, were commonly used in public areas such as hallways and passages. One perceived advantage of this type of pattern in high-use areas was that it could easily be repaired by cutting and pasting a spare piece over the soiled blocks.

Precise dating of this specific pattern is difficult to determine as ashlars were popular from 1800 until the early 1840s.

The design can be printed in tone-on-tone configurations such as green-on-green, blue-on-blue, or variations of ochre. It is also useful as a dado paper below chair rails.
