This dense pattern is divided into horizontal thirds. The bottom third is divided into sections filled with stylized floral patterns, geometric patterns, and a songbird. The top two-thirds of the pattern features a shoreline with flowering plants and two large stalks of bamboo. Five small songbirds and one large bird fly above.

The partners of Edge, Malkin & Co. were Joseph Edge, William Millett Edge, John Wilcox Edge, and James Malkin. In 1892 John Wilcox Edge retired from the business. In 1893 James Malkin retired and William Spencer Millett Edge joined the business. In 1894 Sydney Malkin left the partnership and the business was continued by the Edge family alone - the name Edge, Malkin & Co was continued. By 1902 the business was bankrupt and went into voluntary liquidation. S. Webster Dean (who was the chairman of Edge, Malkin & Co.) continued the business until 1910.
