Frieze (USA), 1905–15

Art Nouveau. Alternating large and medium pink lilies connected by foliate/leafy swag. Secondary ribbon swag behind lilies. Outlined on the bottom by a simplified lace-like pattern (scalloped). This is repeated near the top border as a horizontal band. Bottom border has burgendy and dark green stripes. Top border has dark green and light green stripes. Ground is shaded from light beige (at top) to greenish light beige (at bottom). Background is mottled with green and burgendy to give a watercolor effect of water (?). Covering the entire wallpaper is an irregular black grid and black dot pattern.
