Good Question?
I have read Louis Chevrolet saw the design on some wallpaper in a hotel room in Richmond Va. Time frame was early 1900's. Would like to know actual time also?

William Durant, the founder of GM, said a wallpaper pattern he saw in a Paris hotel in 1908 inspired the bow tie logo. Supposedly, he ripped off a small piece of it and brought it back to Detroit.
