Wallpaper

This room was wallpapered with a William Morris design called Larkspur. In 1887, the Sambournes wanted something more luxurious. They chose a replacement paper of dark red imitation Spanish leather, but as the walls were covered with paintings and photographs spaces behind the pictures were not papered to save expenses.
