 English 1770-1790
Sayward
Gothic is a classic quatrefoil pattern found under several
layers
of later paper in the home of Jonathan Sayward in York,
Maine. It
was installed between 1761 and 1767. In examining the
original document, the background color appears to be a light blue.
However, the
reverse side of the subsequent paper layer – where most of the paint
from the Sayward layer had transferred – clearly shows it to have been
a very deep Prussian blue, as shown in the historic colorway,
above. As was the fashion of the time it was hung with a
narrow
border.
This pattern is
licensed to Adelphi Paper Hangings by Historic New
England.
