This exquisite design was inspired by handpainted 18th century Chinese wallpaper in the dining room of the Lightfoot House at Colonial Williamsburg.

These were common features in Chinese inspired decorative arts, known as Chinoiserie, which were popular in Europe and the colonies in the 18th century.
