The Rose and Sprig Border was found in an
abandoned tavern in Maine along with Adelphi's Moses
Grant Stripe. The pattern is typical of the narrow borders
used at the end of the 18th and early-19th centuries. They were placed
at every margin, including window and door architrave moldings, as well
as at the ceiling, chair rail and baseboard.
On the original document the leaves were printed
with a green varnish rather than with distemper paint. This is due to
the fact that the green pigments of the time tended to fade in the
chalk based medium. Adelphi is able to produce this pattern with either
varnish or distemper, depending on the specific installation
requirements.
