Greek Key
French circa 1810-1825
The Greek Key Border was discovered along with Adelphi's Grapevine Frieze and the Vine and Paisley pattern in Schuylerville, New York, where it was used as a decorating element around doors and windows. According to the stamped pattern number on the obverse, this particular sample was printed in the 1820s. However, the Greek Key is an earlier design and the motif remained popular throughout the 1780-1835 period. It is an extremely versatile border and can be used in numerous combinations of frieze and sidewall papers.
