Hand Painted Wall Paper

The latest theories of interior dec
Grating seem to favor making the
walls of a room as unobtrusive and
neutral a background as possible, but
there was a time when wall paper,
no less than furniture. played an inn
portant role in house decoration, says
the Antiquarian of New York. The
early Nineteenth century hand
painted wall paper was considered a
mark Of distinction in any house. and
the few samples of such papers that
remain are highly priced by connois-
seurs. One Of the finest specimens
of such paper until recently adorned
the walls of country home near
Chicago and has been presented to
the Art institute Of that city as the
gift Of it's owner, Mrs. Ernest Hicks
of Hillsdale.
This paper has Travelled much and
had many adventures since it was
made in France in 1901. There it
was purchased by a wealthy Vermont
merchant who brought it home to
sell. But the paper was not sold un-
til 1880 when a. thrifty Yankee
bought 1t and stored it carefully
away so that it was seen only on
state occasions. Finally. Mrs. Hicks
discovered the paper and recognized
it's artistic as well as it's historic
interest.
1t is verv thick and tough. much
like a tapestry, and the scene de-
picted is such as might have been
