Summary
Wallpaper Box 12. Flock wallpaper, cardinal red on cherry with a stamped gilt background. Full roll. (V&A description). c.1841-1851. Rococo arabesque, block printed in 2 shades of crimson flock on an embossed gilded ground.(Allyson McDermott's description).
Provenance
c 1840-51. See Alyson McDermott's report for detailed discussion: "Investigation into the use of wallpapers at Oxburgh Hall, Norfolk. April 2013". Despite the Dining Room (where the wallpaper was used) being part of the 1830s structural works, the paper seems later being similar in both design and techique to papers dating 1840-50. See report for details and comparison with known examples.
