Peacock Topiary - Fern Green Wallpaper

Description

Peacock Topiary is taken from a V&A archive fabric that is over 100 years old. A joyful arrangement of manicured lawns, sculpted hedges, tulips and a proud, strutting peacock in the grounds of an English stately home. A traditionally printed wallpaper to replicate the finely detailed stitching and impressive grandeur of the original. In fern green it brings a contemporary feel to this elegant pattern.

Available in 2 colours: Fern and Monochrome

Peacock Topiary archive Inspiration: Furnishing fabric, Silver Studio, London, about 1900
Founded in 1880 by Arthur Silver, the Silver Studio was a design practice based in Hammersmith, London that sold designs for items such as furnishing fabrics, wallpapers, tablecloths, rugs and carpets to a range of commercial customers both in Britain and abroad. It employed a number of designers, some of whom were well known in their own right, and others whose work remained anonymous. Originally created as a furnishing fabric of woven silk, the topiary pattern is the epitome of stately opulence and illustrates the stylisation of organic and natural forms that tied the Art Nouveau aesthetic together and characterised English interior design in the early 20th century.
