Research - Historical Interiors

This is a English wallpaper design from about 1925. It is a design of pine branches with Japanese lanterns hanging off the branches. It is a strong Oriental peice with elements of Chinese as well as Japanese. This style of wallpaper was popular in the 1920's and is a colour machine print.
This wallpaper peice dates back to around late 17th Century about 1976. It is a English Design which gives a strong idea that they are trying to imitate lace work using floral pattern on to a lattice patterned background.

A print style Wallpaper blocked printed on to a blue background with the detailed designs figure scenes and landscapes. datet around the 1760-65. I like the use of colours in this piece, the rich blue and the delicate pink with blue hints running through them, i think it ties it well together and holds the two bold colours together.
