More details
An Art Nouveau design for wallpaper featuring a flower in the fashionable aesthetic colours of the period. The design is by the Silver Studio and was sold to Wylie & Lochead in 1891. Note particularly the top right design which was for Wylie & Lochead's famous 'Rokesley Poppy' paper. This type of wallpaper pattern was very popular in smart middle-class drawing-rooms in the early 90s. A similar design was produced by Voysey - 'The Tokyo' wallpaper.
