AN AMERICAN PRINTING TRADITION

We specialize in the original hand-printed and embossed “leather papers” produced by M.H. Birge & Sons of Buffalo, NY (which were found in many of the highest-end homes of early twentieth century), however our collection also includes a wide range of antique papers from other American manufacturers such as The Robert Graves Co., Fr. Beck & Co., Carey Bros. Wall Paper Mfg. Co., Hobbs, Benton & Heath, Standard Wall-Paper Co., S.A. Maxwell Co., Gledhill Wall-Paper Co., and Wm. Campbell & Co.

MORE THAN ARTS & CRAFTS

Many fans of the Arts & Crafts Movement are also passionate about other periods and styles, especially the preceding Aesthetic Movement – explore our entire collection to discover outstanding examples of these exotic Gilded-Age designs and many others!

We will be posting special offers via our Facebook and Instagram pages during the month, so follow us there and stay tuned for rare limited editions and special deals throughout the month.
