Hand-printed and hand-painted, these prints revive a wonderful wallpaper design.

Inspired by an 18th Century paper by a hosier named Benoist Huquier in Orleans, France, it is faithfully reproduced by hand printing the design in dark brown, and all the details are hand painted as it would have been done originally. Comprising of roses and other foliage, a bird, the design is stunning and looks great in an antique or new frame. This design originally was used as endpapers in a book, but due to it being a repeating pattern, would have also been used as wallpaper. 

These are printed on 100% cotton paper from Khadi Papers in India, from recycled garment industry offcuts. Read more about our materials.
