Le papier peint : ses differents employs

1920 · 12 pictures

Le papier peint: ses différents emplois is a 1920 French trade portfolio of wallpaper designs shown in stylized interior rooms, probably issued for decorators and manufacturers. The pictures are colour prints of rooms with patterned walls, showing floral trellis, striped, and bold botanical panels with furniture and curtains in flat black silhouette. A designer might borrow the period palette of yellow, magenta, teal and grey, and the pairing of dense floral repeats with plain striped or trellis grounds.
