Taking the exact proportion and structural quality of the Broad Stripe, each band in this more complex version comprises 42 ‘pin stripes,’ creating a sharper, more contemporary look that appeals at first glance and offers more on closer inspection. Given its finer proportions, this design would have been virtually impossible to print before the arrival of the print roller in around 1840.

More than ‘just plain stripes’, all ten designs in ‘Painted Papers’ have been reworked from historic patterns sourced from several archives, including those at English Heritage and Manchester’s Whitworth Art Gallery. Faithful to the period in which they were designed, and with many of the colourways also boasting an authentic historic provenance, the wallpapers are nonetheless highly relevant for the 21st Century interior.
