Traditional wallpaper GUSTAVUS : ELEONORA

floral patternnature patternfabric look

Zoffany has turned to the restrained classical style of eighteenth century Sweden to influence a wallpaper collection that exudes character,elegance and simplicity. Zoffany and the Gustavus style share a natural affinity in their colour palettes. Core colours of creams, whites, blues and greys are warmed with the addition of earthy reds. The challenge for the Zoffany design studio was replicating the quality of the natural materials inherent to Swedish eighteenth century interiors for a contemporary market. By using modern printing techniques and rich opaque pigments the studio has captured the authentic textures of natural wood and rough. This beautiful design takes its inspiration from the paper panels in the Prima Donnas room in the court theatre at the summer palace in Drottningholm. Zoffanys Eleonora wallpaper captures the spirit of the original panels depicting the birds among the branches in a repeating design with great care taken to retain the brushwork of the Swedish artist. Each of the four colourings some traditional some with a touch of modern sophistication retain the hallmark Gustavian freshness.Recommended Paste Zoffany Black Lid Ready Mixed Tub Paste
