Frieze (USA)
This is a Frieze. It was manufactured by M.H. Birge & Sons Co.. It is dated 1915 and we acquired it in 2005. Its medium is machine printed on paper. It is a part of the Wallcoverings department.
This pendant ornament would take the place of a frieze around the upper part of the wall. It is most likely part of a set that would include a matching striped sidewall. This type of ornament, which provided a very different look from a frieze, would be one of the few examples of its kind in the museum’s collection.
