Stones and roses

Reconstitution of Edward I of England apartments at the Tower of London with a stones and roses pattern on the wall.

Stones and roses is a pattern emulating masonry with little roses on the bricks. The pattern is believed to have been the most typical of all interior decorating designs in the mid 13th century.[1]

The Queen of England had the pattern on her bedroom wall in the Tower of London.[1]
