It is a particularly effective pattern on which to hang artwork, or in hallways and rooms with walls cut up by many doors and windows. The original was found in under woodwork in the old shop of Burrows & Co. in Boston, and historic photographs show the same design in a villa near Sidney, Australia, where it had been installed around 1880. 21" wide with a drop match of 21". 6 yard long rolls, covering 30 square feet. 6 yard long rolls, covering 30 square feet.
