Edit by Salubra
A wallpaper sample book distributed by Salubra, a wallpaper manufacturer founded in Basel, Switzerland in 1900. Tekko and Salubra refer to different types of wallpaper, and this item is the sample book for the Tekko series. When the Prince Asaka Residence was completed, Tekko wallpaper was used on the walls of the Official Waiting Room, Young Prince’s Bedroom, Young Prince’s Sitting Room, Prince’s Bedroom, Princess’s Bedroom, Princess’s Sitting Room, Young Princess’s Bedroom, Young Princess’s Sitting Room, and the Powder Room (Not open to the public). Only the wallpapers in the Young Princess’s Bedroom, Young Princess’s Sitting Room, and the Powder Room (Second Bathroom) survive today. The wallpaper in the Official Waiting Room has been restored using the same product number but a different color, Tekko A5-217 Moss Green.
