Duresco : the XXth century mural decoration.
Duresco is a 1907 trade catalogue of mural decoration published by the Silicate Paint Co., showing wall and ceiling schemes for interiors, including churches, as sample plates. The plates are chromolithographic designs of Gothic-style panels, medieval-inspired patterns, and painted bands, which a designer could draw on for stencilled wall patterns, ecclesiastical ornament, and historicist colour palettes.
