From the 19th century, in both Britain and the United States, fashionable homes in the Aesthetic Movement style featured interiors with tripartite walls that displayed a dado, a fill pattern, and a frieze. A dado covered the lower part of the wall and provided an alternative to wood paneling. A fill pattern sat above the dado and provided a background for framed prints that hung from picture rails. A frieze, or decorative border, adorned the top of walls. Complementary ceiling papers added to the densely patterned effect. Special thank you to Bradbury & Bradbury Art Wallpapers (@bradburywallpaper) for making this exhibition possible. “The Victorian Papered Wall” is on display pre-security in the International Terminal and online at: https://bit.ly/VictorianPaperedWall
