Chambers House Linoleum

The Chambers House, in Beaumont, Texas, was built in 1907 by a local lumberman and purchased by the Chambers family in 1914.  They extensively remodeled the house in 1924, and it was not upgraded or modernized through 2004, when Florence Chambers, who was 16 months old when she moved into the house, passed away.  Chambers House was opened as a house museum in 2007.  

We were contacted in early 2024 to see if we could recreate the intricate linoleum pattern that had been in the kitchen.  This is one of the most challenging projects we have taken on.  The background consists of four colors with an abstract squiggly line pattern.  This is overprinted by two triangular leaf patterns that repeat vertically, in opposite directions.  Four stencils were required to create each leaf triangle.
