Revival pieces include a pair of inlaid cabinets
and a marble-topped center table adorned with
brass masks and hand-painted porcelain rondels
featuring putti (Renaissance cherubs). The
walls were papered with Scalamandre’s ‘Kelton
House’, a stylized floral paper originally found
in that historic 1852 Italianate (currently a house
museum) in Columbus, Ohio.
The master bedroom was papered with Zu-
ber’s grisaille pattern ‘Paysage Italien’. Master
paperhangers John Nalewaja and Jim Francis of
Scenic Wallpaper actually made a small mockup
of the room with folding walls, to work out place-
ment of wallpaper scenes and panels in the room.
The kitchen at the back of the house has been
updated, though the original brick ovens were
conserved for display. Mauny’s ‘Faience’, a hand-
printed, 19th-century tile-pattern wallpaper, is
appropriate for the period.ABOVE The villa Rosedale and its bucolic setting have not changed in the past 150 years. BELOW The lacy porch
trim frames the pastoral view at sunset. RIGHT Updated with new cabinets and appliances, the kitchen retains its
19th-century charm with the original cooking ovens and Mauny’s ‘Faience’ tile-pattern wallpaper.FOR RESOURCES, SEE PAGE 103.
