French, circa 1800
This pattern is licensed to Adelphi Paper Hangings by the Farmers' Museum.
This border exists in two documented colorways; the one reproduced above was discovered near Concord, Massachusetts; the other was found in Liege and is now is a private collection in Belgium.
Probably of French origin, the striking use of lime green and pale lilac is typical of the French predilection for sophisticated color combinations during the first two decades of the 19th century. The animated rhythm of the border works well with any small figured sidewall or plain paper in a formal area.
Imperial Measurements: Repeat 1 ¾ inches, width 5 ¼ inches
Metric Measurements: 4.4 cm, 13.3 cm.
