Graves Circles and Scrolls

This pattern is based on two different wallpaper designs from the Robert Graves Co. Wallpaper Company, c. 1880s.  The interior motifs with their whimsical circles of leaves and berries are from Bolling & Company's remarkable wallpaper archive.  The border pattern is based on a depiction of a ceiling border in a Graves wallpaper catalog.  The two patterns combine beautifully to create stunning floorcloths.
