William Harland & Son · 1894 · Wm. Harland & Son · 14 pictures

A trade pattern book issued in 1894 by Wm. Harland & Son, varnish and japan manufacturers of Merton, Surrey, for decorators and designers working on interiors. Its plates collect ready-made ornament: friezes, door panels, church powderings and paterae drawn as flat black-and-white motifs. A designer could take from them a stock vocabulary of Victorian repeat borders, stylised floral panels and rosettes for adapting to stencil, tile or woodwork schemes.
