Medium-scale medallions used as a central motif
were found in patterns
from the 1820s to the 1840s. Most likely of American origin, this
paper is quite representative of the period; it was found in Plymouth,
Massachusetts. Its relatively modest size suggests that it would have
been used for a bedroom or parlor, perhaps augmented by an elaborate
French border or frieze.
