Rambusch Decorating Company
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Rambusch Decorating Company was founded in 1898 in New York, New York by Frode Rambusch, a Danish immigrant. The firm helped decorate the main public rooms at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel when it was built in the early 1930's. It also helped make some of the stained glass windows at St. Bartholomew's Church on Park Avenue. The firm also employed later generations of Rambusches, including Viggo F. E. Rambusch.
During World War II, the firm helped camouflage American airfields from enemy planes. Sketches of orchards and farm buildings were painted on the airfields to confuse the enemy. [1]
