Vintage Art Nouveau Red Tulip Floral Pattern

This elegant sidewall sample was produced by Becker, Smith & Page, Inc. in Philadelphia between 1906 and 1908. Founded in 1899, the company was a prominent American manufacturer known for high-quality machine-printed wallcoverings. This design epitomises the Art Nouveau movement, featuring a stylised floral stripe pattern. It showcases bold red flowers—reminiscent of oversized tulips or thistles—on an off-white stripe, set against a mottled tan ground with fine, crackled textures. The symmetrical, flowing vertical stems and organic "whiplash" curves reflect the period's obsession with nature-inspired, graceful ornamentation, making it a timeless choice for vintage-inspired decor.
