STAMPED LINEN, MAT

The design featuring the Australian native 'Blue Wren' stamped on cream linen fabric by SEMCO company is one of a broad range of stamped designs on fabrics for household articles available in early and mid 20th century.
Patterns for household linen, mass produced by Semco, MyArt, and Deighton were often published in women's magazines such as Australiann Home Journal, The Weekly Times and the Australian Woman's Weekly and offered as a mail service to women in country areas. Australiana featuring native flora and fauna was a popular theme.
