Frieze (USA)
This is a Frieze. It was manufactured by Hobbs, Benton & Heath. It is dated ca. 1908 and we acquired it in 1938. Its medium is machine-printed paper. It is a part of the Wallcoverings department.
A wallpaper frieze created a transition between the saturated colors fashionable on wallpapers of the period to the pale tones preferred on ceilings. The frieze would suggest the room’s color scheme: a deep red or green tone-on-tone paper below, and a warm tan with a slight sparkle pattern on the ceiling.
