Hamilton Urns is one of the earliest examples of American neo-classical wallpaper design. It is quite likely to be the pattern referred to as "Oval and Slack" in the estate inventory of John Welsh, Jr., a Boston paperstainer. The pattern is documented in two very different colorways. The simpler of the two is white printed on a deep Prussian blue ground. A more complex version combines an ochre ground, the pattern printed in black with the blue stenciled ovals and white highlights under the rosettes and bows. Originally it was hung with a narrow border in the Jonathan Hamilton House in South Berwick, Maine. American (Boston) 1787-90. This pattern is licensed to Adelphi Paper Hangings by Historic New England.

Notes: Straight match. The historic colorway shown above is double width; alternative colorways are single width.
