Border (France)
This is a Border. It is dated 1800–1825 and we acquired it in 1972. Its medium is block printed and flocked on handmade paper. It is a part of the Wallcoverings department.
With swans and lyres, this border, which might have been used at chair rail height, could have continued the motifs of the borders of a surtout de table found within the same room.
