Coffered Squares Wallpaper - D

Adelphi’s Janes & Bolles Collection is reproduced from the earliest known American wallpaper sample book, now in the collection of Old Sturbridge Village. It was produced by the firm of Janes & Bolles, which operated from 1822-1827 in Hartford, Connecticut. The sample book provides 22-inch square samples of each pattern, with alternate colorways for most of the patterns. Adelphi offers the Janes & Bolles papers in their original or in customized colorways.

The simplicity of the Coffered Squares pattern makes suggests that it was likely to have been found in middle class homes, perhaps in a small stair hall or bedroom.
