Palmette - Clay Brown Wallpaper

Description

This magnificent wallpaper of tropical flora and lush greenery has been beautifully reworked from an original carpet design, held in the archives of the V&A in South Kensington. The sumptuously thick ink coverage and beautiful hand-painted effect that characterise surface printing provide the perfect medium to recreate the richness and artistry of the highly patterned original. Surface printing, a heritage technique pioneered in 1838 and continued in our Lancashire factory today, brings another level of character and depth to the wallpaper.

With a delicious blend of deep chocolate, warming earthy tones and caramels, this Clay brown colour is very much on trend, the rich colours bringing the design to life.

Available in 5 colours: Forest, Blue Hue, Clay brown, Sage and Natural

Crafted by textile designer George Kingman in Kidderminster—a historic hub of British carpet production—this pattern embodies a rich tradition dating back to the 1730s. Kingman’s work, characterised by rich colours, intricate patterns and an eclectic blend of inspiration from history, art and nature, continues to resonate in contemporary design, creating a dynamic celebration of maximalism.
