Waterhouse Damask
Historic Reproduction Wallpaper
This is a handsome reproduction wallpaper that was produced by Waterhouse Wallhangings of Boston. For nearly fifty years, the Waterhouse firm specialized in recreating historic wallpapers for museums, historical societies, and private homes. Their Boston atelier has been demolished and this pattern is now no longer in production.
The hand-made roller that was used for printing this pattern is thought to date back to the early days of the Thomas Strahan Wallcoverings Company, which was founded in the 1880s. The design would be appropriate for both 18th and 19th Century interiors.
Reference: McClelland, Nancy. Wall-Papers Old and New. Undated promotional catalog, circa 1930. This opulent damask is closely related to the patterns Miss McClelland named “Spanish and Italian Designs,” illustrated on pages 36-39.
SPECS:
The wallpaper is packaged and sold in double roll bolts. Each double roll bolt is 20 inches wide and 14 yards long. Each double roll bolt would cover about 60 square feet. This pattern has a 25" vertical pattern repeat and is a straight across match. The wallpaper is un-pasted, pre-trimmed, flat-finish. All of my inventory is new-pristine condition, all from the same dye lot.
