Wallpaper Border c. 1940

This decorative border design, created by Walter Doran around 1940, features a repeating motif of stylized white flowers against a vibrant green background, framed by a red and black band. The design is characteristic of wallpaper borders from the early 20th century, which often employed geometric and floral patterns. Doran, a prolific designer, captured the aesthetic of the era, creating decorative elements that added visual interest and elegance to home interiors. The border’s simplicity and symmetry make it a timeless and versatile decorative element.
