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 9-10) 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 11-13) was built in 1804 and became known as a well-known hotel located on Main Street in Medford, Massachusetts. This particular paper was used in the grand staircase and foyer of the Boscobel Mansion. (See photos 14-15).
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 one triple roll of wallpaper (approximately 15 yards).
