Traditional wallpaper SACKVILLE STREET

floralfabric lookblue

One of the largest and best-preserved patterns in the English Heritage archive, this design features a 39” (99cm) repeat and an unusual 31.5” (80cm) width, so each drop is substantially wider than the standard 20.5” (52cm) wallpaper roll. Found in the rear bedroom of a home built for ‘minor nobility’, the surviving example had originally been papered on boards, with additional flowers added retrospectively by hand to mask the joins in the paper.

The title of this range refers not to the storming of the Bastille in 1789, but to the groundbreaking advances in the production and distribution of wallpapers in the ensuing industrial period.
