Virchaux Swan Frieze  

 



American circa 1815

The Swan Frieze and its coordinating Virchaux Drapery pattern (visible beneath the frieze, above) were both designed by the internationally known architect Josef Ramée, in Philadelphia. Ramée, who had previous wallpaper manufacturing experience while in Belgium, entered into partnership with Henry Virchaux, a French émigré printer working in Philadelphia. This paper was one of many they submitted for patent protection between 1814 and 1816.
