Hand-painted wallpaper. Lavender colourway on Tarnished Silver gilded paper.
This design was inspired by a painted white silk Kimono from the late Edo period. In the early 19th century, artist Sakai Hoitsu, better known for his work on scrolls and folding screens, turned his hand to the Kimono, painting a blooming plum tree beautifully designed to move with the wearer. The blossoming tree limbs of de Gournay’s design envelope spaces convey the same lively movement originally depicted in the Kimono.
Designs are often tailored in order to perfectly fit within your interior by adapting the pattern to work around furniture, fixtures and fittings.
Colours within the design can be adjusted to match any palette.
Different backgrounds can be chosen from our extensive selection of silks, textured papers, and gilded grounds which come in a range of colours, see the full selection here.
Fine silk embroidery can be added to all our silk wallpapers, adding an extra level of depth and intricacy. Beading can be applied alongside the embroidery or as a standalone technique. View our embroidered finishes here.
