About this seller
Private sellerProduct description
This is an authentic antique wallpaper printing cylinder, a functional piece of industrial history crafted from wood and metal. The object is a testament to the intricate process of early 20th-century textile and wallpaper manufacturing, where such rollers were used to apply patterns layer by layer. Constructed from a solid wood core, the cylinder features hand-set metal stamps that form the repeating pattern. It retains its original factory markings, including the hand-lettered text "3 Gelb," indicating its use for the third yellow colour application in a sequence, and the pattern number "2476". The piece measures approximately 45 cm in length with a diameter of approximately 11 cm and includes its original red-painted steel mounting ring, which was used to align the cylinder within the printing press. The roller displays a rich and authentic patina, a direct result of its history and use within an industrial setting. The surfaces of both the wood and the metal components show character and wear consistent with their age, preserving the object's historical integrity. As a decorative piece, this printing cylinder offers a strong sculptural presence suitable for industrial, eclectic, or classic interiors. It can be displayed as a standalone object on a console, shelf, or mantelpiece, serving as a unique conversation piece and a tangible link to design history.
