Dado (England)
This is a Dado. It is dated 1817–27 and we acquired it in 1952. Its medium is block-printed on handmade paper. It is a part of the Wallcoverings department.
This is the dado paper designed to go below the Dragon wallpaper. The wave motif you see behind the fretwork continues up onto the lower portion of the sidewall. This dado paper required eight wood blocks to print.
