The Paterson Bros. art decorating firm, consisting of brothers James, Charles Stewart and Hugh Paterson, was established in Melbourne in 1873 and steadily grew in popularity. (From the 1870s, the term ‘art decorator’ in Australia implied the work of a decorator who strove to achieve a balance of beauty and functionality in interior ornamentation). Due to the prosperity in Victoria following the gold rush of the 1850s, talented art decorators from around the world made their way to Victoria during the 1870s and 1880s, forming a large and distinct group of cosmopolitan artists who enriched the interiors of many private and public buildings across the state.
