Novel Wallpaper Designs Cost As Much As Silk
A long feature details advances in wallpaper from ornate blends to faithful imitations of wood and marble, tracing steps from early color lines to today’s high fashion patterns. Firms like H Birge & Sons of Buffalo showcase Louis XVI motifs sourced from historical pieces, with new effects including Smyrna and Turkish patterns and wall coverings resembling ebony, green oak, and Siena marble. Prices reach eight dollars a yard and eight dollar rolls retail, yet some pieces remain cheaper while offering gallery worthy designs.
