Summary
Panel - Tooled and painted leather wall covering. William wrote from Venice in 1849, 'I have at length purchased hangings of gilded leather sufficient, I trust, for the whole walls, but as the quantity runs very close, I want the utmost precision in the dimensions'. William calculated it cost him, 'about 13 shillings the square yard, without jointing or carriage'.
