- Wallpaper, maroon and gold. Stylized floral and leaf design in green on maroon ground. From family parlor. Straight edge on right side. On back of design area, a chance that the green printed flowers, leaves, and stems are actually a metallic color that has corroded to the greenish shade that it is now. Could be more of a gold and red paper. Paper appears to be laid paper. In lower right corner and upper right corner, flowers with fair amount of detailed printing in them. In same area, some unusual patterns in the red-color that are a mystery. Many small parallel lines in red with short vertical, slightly darker lines between them, which is the mysterious look.
