Wallpaper, stylised scenery design, 1970s
Description
This wallpaper is part of a large tranche of over 160 designs (comprising full rolls, part-rolls and lengths) donated by specialist home furnishing retailers Chee Soon & Fitzgerald (CSF) in 2008. CSF were at the vanguard of the wallpaper revival in Australia in the mid to late 1990s. Their promotion of wallpaper predates the revival of Florence Broadhurst's designs and came at a time when interior decoration was dominated by white walls and 'clean surfaces'. The wallpapers are of various places of manufacture and represent a period from 1950 to the 1980s. Approximately 40% of the collection was acquired by CSF from older Sydney interior designers; the remainder came from markets, second-hand stores and private donors.
