The owner of this paper framed a repeating pattern with a floral border, even painting a thin brown line to make it look like a real picture frame. This panel may have been made to fit within a framework of molding on a wall. The thin mismatched strip added down the left side may indicate the owner’s desire not to waste any extra paper.
