This 1865 Gothic Revival wallpaper
was based on an original made by Samuel Scott for
the English decorators J.G. Crace for the Houses of
Parliament in London c.1850. Re-scaled for domestic
use, and with crowns changed for leaves, this paper
was installed in the 1865 Dining Room of Ross Bay
Villa, a modest Gothic Revival style house saved and
being restored by The Land Conservancy in Victoria,
Canada. The overall repeating design of ogee panels
was a popular Gothic Revival pattern.
