History & Provenance
This beautiful original wallpaper is finely and delicately painted with organic water based pigments, including malachite, azurite and rich red carmine which were applied to large sheets of Chinese paper stretched onto panels. The design of birds, flowers and butterflies is typical of the second half of the 18th Century Chinoise style of painting
Chinese wallpaper was a Western confection, ordered and made on commission and brought back to Europe as private trade by officers of the East India Company. It was highly fashionable and greatly sought after to embellish the private apartments of the rich and the aristocracy. Brighton Pavillion is a superb example.
