L-Shaped, the albums aren’t leather. Typically, L-door Victrola albums are fabric covered. Some later albums use a pressed and coated paper that gives the appearance of leather.

Regarding your inquiry, there are lots of options. Anything from the period, phonograph related or music related should do. My favorite is to just put machines or other antiques or musical instruments above, below and around my machines.

There are high quality canvas banners available on eBay. Nice, framed phonograph ads can be nice. Sheet music can look nice as well. The Nipper here is just a downloaded and printed copy that I matted and framed, (about $25.00 total cost).

A Nipper or two is a necessity.
