This kind of small-scale, informal asymmetric pattern was considered most appropriate for private apartments such as bedrooms and dressing-rooms, in contrast to the more formal decoration found in rooms used for entertaining guests. Flock wallpaper has powdered wool appplied to areas of the pattern to give a textured effect that resembles cut velvet. In this case it is the black areas of the design that have been flocked. It is very rare to find samples of the same paper surviving in more than one location, but in this instance the same pattern has been found in Suffolk at Christchurch Mansion, Ipswich.","physicalDescription":"Torn portion (three sheets joined) of wallpaper with a baroque floral pattern, printed in blue with black flock on a yellow ground; Print from woodblock and stencil (?), with flock, on stained paper.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Unknown","id":"A1848"},"association":{"text":"manufacturer","id":"x33306"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"paper","id":"x30308"},{"text":"flock","id":"x30565"}],"techniques":[{"text":"woodblock print","id":"x38448"},{"text":"flocking","id":"AAT53786"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Print from woodblock and stencil (?), with flock, on stained paper","categories":[{"text":"Wall coverings","id":"THES48878"}],"styles":[{"text":"Baroque","id":"AAT21147"}],"collectionCode":{"text":"PDP","id":"THES48595"},"images":["2006AT9601"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"B","id":"THES304977"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"wallpaper","id":""}],[{"text":"print","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"England","id":"x28826"},"association":{"text":"produced","id":"x30771"},"note":""},{"place":{"text":"Clandon","id":"x35514"},"association":{"text":"paper hung","id":"AAT53860"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"ca. 1734","earliest":"1729-01-01","latest":"1738-12-31"},"association":{"text":"produced","id":"x30771"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Given by Mr John B.
