In the hope of new important commissions, in the 1880s the workshop produced also these four samples for wall panels, for potential wealthy clients desiring to replace wallpaper with these sophisticated coverings.
These samples, dated 1882, could be admired by visitors among other objects on sale in the so-called Exposition Rooms.
Just like contemporary wallpapers, the panels had decorations similar to the motifs of damask and Renaissance fabrics which were then in vogue, such as, for example, the panel with flowers, a bird and a butterfly made with soft stones and put up for sale at the price of 2.500 lire, with its elegant neo-Renaissance ornamentation.
Japanese inspiration suggested the decorative motif of the panel with a branch of tea roses on a trellis, in which a single flower, a rose, is the absolute protagonist of the composition, sinuously intertwining in a skillfully created bamboo cane frame.
