Brunschwig and Fils Boscobel Restoration Medford Inn 1804 Hand-Printed Wallpaper

About the Item

Brunschwig and Fils Boscobel Restoration Medford Inn 1804 hand-printed wallpaper. Very unusual paper - it is marked as custom hand-printed for the Boscobel Restoration, Inc. with a copyright date of 1977. The Boscobel Restoration is a rebuilt historic mansion (see images 9 and 10) in Garrison, NY using salvaged parts of an original Federal-period home that was demolished in the 1950s. This is a historic pattern, marked on the paper as "Medford Inn, 1804" and a registered design of the Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities. The Medford Inn (see image 11) was built in 1804 and became known as a well-known hotel located on Main Street in Medford, Massachusetts. The design of the paper hearkens back to Roman tradition of wall decoration, with a trompe l’oleil effect that mimics ornate panelling and stone inlay. As per the this paper was also produced in a brown colorway and is part of the Digital Public Library of America and Historic New England Database (Ascension Number 2000.243). This listing is for a lot of about 15 rolls, as pictured. There are a mix of triple rolls, single rolls and partial rolls rolled up together. It is a substantial amount overall. We have not measured each roll but I would estimate the entire lot to come to at least 100 yards, perhaps more.
