English, circa 1750-1751
This pattern is licensed to Adelphi Paper Hangings by The Strawberry Hill Trust.
Like the Strawberry Hill Plaid, with which it was installed, this border was printed with a very thin, somewhat transparent paint. Wallpaper patterns in the 18th century were often derived from more costly textile designs; it seems plausible that some of the motifs in this border were derived from fabric trims.
Imperial Measurements: Repeat 1 ¼ inches, width 1 ⅝ inches
