Object history	This design was certainly used as a wallpaper design and as such with minor alterations appears in a photograph of the Great Hall at Scarisbrick Hall, Lancs., given in a sale catalogue of Hatch & Fielding, Stockport, Lancs. for 16 Juuly 1923 (Reference R. Halstead). It may also have been used as a wallpaper in the Houses of Parliament. THere are several examples of a similar design in the Houses of Parliament pattern book (E.137-1939) but a positive identification does not seem possible.
