Found in the parlor of the 18th century Bellingham
Cary House in Chelsea, Massachusetts, this scrolling vine pattern is an
example of an early 19th century roller printed pattern. The relatively
small repeat is typical of early mechanized printing, as the technology
for producing larger rollers, and therefore larger repeats, had not
completely been developed. The coloration of the original document is
also indicative of the more muted direction in interior fashions that
were to come. Adelphi offers this pattern on either our standard matte
ground or on a faux satin ground.
This pattern is licensed to Adelphi Paper Hangings
by the Governor Bellingham Cary House Association.
Repeat 83⁄8 inches
Width 19 inches
