Partial roll of reproduction wallpaper in the "Interlacing Circles" pattern by Katzenbach and Warren. Wallpaper has large-scale pattern of medallions formed by interlacing circles. Within the center of each circle is a stylized flower. Roller-printed in two greens and two blue-grays on a beige ground. Pattern is based on a mid-18th century wallpaper found in Holderness, NH which had been attached to canvas and a wooden frame for use as a fire screen.
