American circa 1800 - 1810

This border was found at the 1807 Sayre House in Milford, New York. The pattern imitates gimp or fabric edging but, in keeping with other fashion principles of the time, it has a very strong geometry coupled with a neoclassical orange and black color combination.

Width 19⁄16 inches
