Wall Paper Border c. 1937

This design for a wallpaper border, created by Frances Lichten in the late 1930s, features a repeating motif of stylized floral swags with a decorative, rope-like element at the top. The design utilizes a limited palette of blue, red, and peach tones and suggests a sense of romanticism and whimsy, common in the decorative arts of the period. It is likely that this design would have been intended for use in a domestic setting, contributing to a sense of elegance and sophistication. The detail of the floral arrangement is depicted in a detailed manner with fine line work and a clear graphic style.
