No 10. 1925 [wallpaper sample book]

Unknown · 1925 · 23 pictures

A wallpaper sample book numbered No 10, dated 1925, of unknown authorship, held in the Caroline Simpson Library and issued as a trade catalogue for the wallpaper trade. The pictures are full-page swatches of printed wallpaper designs, mostly damask-like repeats in grey, pink, blue and green on cream grounds, or grey-silver motifs on yellow and tan. A designer could take the repeat structure of scrolling stems, peony-like rosettes and paisley-curled medallions as ready reference for historical pattern layout.
