This eBay Buy-It-Now listing features a stunning reproduction wallpaper border from Waterhouse Wallcoverings. This company produced fine wallpapers and borders for historic homes and museums such as Old Sturbridge Village and New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This border was screen-printed by hand in four colors on a colored ground. There are metallic highlights that may be hard to discern in the photos.
Their Boston area atelier has been demolished and it is unlikely that this pattern will ever be produced again. -So don't miss out!

SPECS:
A single width of the actual border is 2 1/4" in height but it is printed six times across the width of the roll. The horizontal pattern repeat is about 2 1/4"  The roll on which it is printed is 14 3/4" wide, as shown in the second pic.
If you place an order for ONE yard, that yard will actually yield SIX yards after you hand-cut them.
The price is for ONE yard that will yield SIX.
So of you had a room that was 12' x 12' you would require about 16 running yards of border for your project. If you placed an order for THREE yards of this product you would actually have 18 yards to work with
SAMPLES:
I have posted a separate eBay listing for prospective customers who may want to obtain a sample swatch to view the colors in person. Samples are one width of the border and about 12" long.
