Kansas City, 3718 Broadway. WALL-PAPERS, OLD AND NEW. Nothing more useful in furnishing a room has ever been invented than decorative papers in good designs. Papers that are backgrounds; papers that take the place of tapestries and painted decorations; papers that give the feeling of chintz or cretonne or toile de Jouy; Chinese papers that are purely fantasies—all these are possible to get today in the hand-blocked reproductions of the old designs that were so effectively used in decoration in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. There is scarcely a room in the house for which a suitable paper is lacking, whether formality or in- formality is the purpose. The art of using wall-paper properly is a special study. Some rooms will double in charm if they are only partially papered, instead of being covered from end to end with a design. The combination of wall-paper with wood-panelling is a delight- ful employment of this unpretentious material of decoration. Printed paper borders will often complete the rooms before anything else is placed in them, and bedrooms and bathrooms will always be gay and charming if the right papers are used. On the choice and the employment of the design, and on the color of the wood-trim and the ceiling, much depends. The services and counsel of a staff of people experienced in the use of wall-paper is available at Nancy McClelland, Inc., together with an extensive selection of repro- ductions of old papers exclusive with this shop. In addition to the large number of modern papers, which are made by hand, with the backgrounds painted in tempera just as old-time craftsmen used to make them, there is in this same shop a very large and important collection of the old scenic papers which were so highly prized by our grandparents as decorations of their houses. These papers have been taken from the walls of old houses, and are still so fresh in coloring, and so well-conditioned (because they were made on pure linen paper) that they are ready to give additional centuries of service in the houses for [3] which they may be destined. In no other one place, either here or abroad, can so large and important a collection of old wall-papers be seen. Please Note:—All of the papers shown in the catalog, with certain exceptions, which are noted, come in 81, yard rolls. Many of them are suggested here in panels to indicate what combinations can be used, with borders and marbleized papers.

Sebo THE PALAIS ROYAL A reproduction of an old scenic paper of the early 1800’s, the original of which still exists in one or two Colonial houses in New England. The background of the paper is a deep sky blue. Against it are architectural scenes, viewed through flowered arches, printed in gray and sepia. The brick wall that forms the base of the paper was occasionally used as a dado in early low-ceilinged rooms. Scenic papers of this sort were the means of bringing gayety and color into the stiff New England houses. Our ancestors discovered that a room whose walls were decorated with scenic paper was already largely furnished before anything else was put into it. The color and the movement of the varied scenes added interest to the surroundings. A scenic paper should always be hung above a chair-rail in order to lift the scenes above the line of the furniture. In rooms where there are few high pieces of furniture, such papers are particularly desirable as mural decorations. The modern method of applying scenic papers to walls is first to canvas the wall, next to cover the canvas with lining paper, and lastly to apply the scenic paper. By this means the paper is protected and is removable at will. The blocks of the Palais Royal have recently been cut from the designs of the old paper, and the modern reproduction is perfect in color and pattern when compared with the original set. The design of the arches and their perspective makes this paper particu- larly suitable for corridors, foyer halls, breakfast and garden rooms. [52] THE PALAIS ROYAL SCENIC PAPER There are 30 strips in the complete set. The height of each strip is 10’ 6”. Height of design 7’ 314”. Width of design on each strip 19”.

Repeat, 25’. Price, $12.00 a roll. The frise is 1114’ wide, and the border is 7” wide. Price of frise and border is $2.50 per yard. [54] SEPTEMBER 7TH, 1886. The “Mayflower” was defend- ing the “America’s” cup against the British yacht, “Galatea.” Not since the swift sailing “America” —first racing yacht to cross the Atlantic in either direc- tion—brought the cup back from England in 1851, had yachting enthusiasm been more keen. How the “Mayflower” won the series, slipping across the finish line within only eleven minutes of the specified time, is yachting his- tory now. This fascinating incident was cele- brated at the time by the produc- tion of a printed percale. An original piece of the percale is owned by Schumacher and it has been faithfully reproduced in this glazed chintz. In small medallions each boat is shown, and in a larger oval, sur- rounded by the pennants of the two boats, a view of the race. Above it, the cup itself—the “America’s” cup. Corals, shells and seaweed complete the design. Because of the unusual quality of its glazing, this chintz is particularly adaptable for draperies, as well as for slip covers and pillows. And it This reproduction of a percale printed to celebrate “ The Mayflower’s” victory over the “Galatea,” comes in green, blue, buff, brown and mouse. comes in a wide variety of color combinations. The Yacht Race Chintz is only one of the many new and charming designs presented by Schumacher in hand-blocked and printed linens, chintzes and toiles de Jouy, dam- asks, brocades, brocatelles, velvets, tapestries, satins and taffetas.
