DESIGNER DAMASKSTM

GRAND PALAIS

Magnifique…with a Parisienne accent! Suitable for a palace, this damask

is a modified ogee design in an imposing format. Within the capacious

urn-shaped frames, composed of curling leaves, are stunningly ornate

floral medallions. Of the five distressed palettes four feature a metallic

sheen on the pattern, while the sixth has a chalk white design on a field

of pearlescent gold. Some of the selections are sea glass blue with

gold, mink with silver, and red with gold. The handsome companion

wallpaper is Wembly, in similar glowing colors.

ANDALUCÍA

Spectacular design, visual texture, and metallic elements make this large

damask print a beauty inspired by the many cultures of Southern Spain.

The ground looks woven, like an aged textile, and the medallions, fleur-

de-lis, and scrollwork are brightened with flecks of metallic ink. Rich

enough for a palace, this wallpaper would make an amazing statement

in a present day home. The assortment of five includes beige with

orchid, cream with gold, and the riveting gold with turquoise. Combine

with Whitaker for a complete decorator project.

PARCHMENT

Heavily textured with a crosshatch pattern and mottled clouds of hazy

color this design is printed on a softly glowing field. The wallpaper

pattern could be taken for a wood grain or a fibrous woven design and

thus has an organic appeal. The three possible color combinations are

taupe, beige, or grey… each with the soft sheen of silver. Use it with

Monte Christo for maximum effect.

WEMBLY

Rich simplicity; it’s not a contradiction. The term applies to this

handsome wallpaper wherein constraint of design and the glow of

metallic inks combine in a pattern with the appearance of an antique

textile or aged castle wall. The assortment of six refined color ways

includes light caramel with gold, mustard, or glint, a taupe and gold

mélange. Each has a lovely counterpart in Grand Palais.

MONTE CRISTO

An elongated quatrefoil is graced with an elaborate design like filigree

on a precious piece of jewelry. The intricate center of the frame is

embossed with metallic glitter. Large in scale, with open spaces

and a pronounced wood-like texture, the pattern could have been

hand painted on an aged wall. An assortment of six captivating color

combinations include off white with ribbons of sheen and silver glitter

or rich cream with glimmering gold and aquamarine. Its intended

partner is Woodgrain Texture in suitable hues.

OASIS

Like an oasis in the heat of an unforgiving desert, this soothing design

offers a respite for the eye. Delicate texture with the inclusion of tiny

fibers give this pattern the look of hand-crafted paper. The assortment

of five hues is subtle yet achieves a subdued richness in shades such as

cool glacier blue or deep dark platinum. With the same lovely fibrous

treatment and compatible colors as Mikado, these wallpapers were born

to be together.

CHALFONT

Is it an imposter or the real thing? It looks like a heavy fabric or grass

cloth. It feels like a heavy fabric or grass cloth. But it is not an imposter.

It’s a beautifully textured wallpaper to bring the look of textile to your

walls. In addition to the appearance of woven fibers, there is a gentle

sheen to some of the colors. It can be used alone, of course, but the

quartet of neutral shades work beautifully with more prominent designs

like Escala or Granville. Select from gold, beige, khaki, or cream.

MIKADO

“The sun, whose rays are all ablaze…” This lyric from the Gilbert and

Sullivan opera, Mikado, could describe this delightful wallcovering ablaze

with glass beads. The delicate and lacy ogee pattern, in a medium scale,

is set upon a field with the fibrous look of handmade paper. This lovely

pattern is also available without the beads but with glowing metallic or

matte inks on a cross hatched ground with the look of fabric. To complete

the project use Oasis in made-to-match colors.

MARQUETTE

Large, lovely filigree circles roll across a solid background with horizontal

streaks adding additional texture to this unique design. Twenty inches

in diameter, on some of the five selections the wheels of lacy fretwork

are printed in metallic inks while on all five the irregular banding has a

glimmering finish and a muted vertical ombre stripe. Select from pale

blue with cream and silver or lavender with silver and soft gold. The

companion wallpaper is Prado.

PRADO

Richly textured, entrancing coloration, intriguing design, this wallpaper

has irregular horizontal ribbons with a glimmer of precious metal to catch

the light and the eye. The raised streaks float across a solid field and are

highlighted by the reflective embellishment. As a result the paper has a

soft vertical ombre stripe. There are six palettes including pale fog grey

with dove grey and silver sheen or rich cream with medium grey and

golden glow. For a marvelous combination, use with Marquette.

ESCALA

Viva Escala! Large and lovely, this pattern is in a celebratory mood.

Sixteen inches tall, the strawberry shaped medallions look a bit like

fireworks bursting in the sky and cascading to earth. A bit whimsical and

a touch lighthearted, this delightful flower centered design would be

an exciting addition to most any décor. The design is composed of dots

and tear drops on a lightly textured field resembling cloth, some with

metallic ink. Among the six palettes you’ll find sea glass blue or lime

green with chalk white or citron with bright silver. Use in tandem with

Chalfont in appropriate hues.

BOXHILL STRIPE

Meticulous, tailored, regimented… this disciplined stripe pattern is

quietly elegant and refined. The vertical bands range from pinstripes

to more than three inches in width, sometimes grouped and sometimes

single. The tonal artistry and slubbed background lend an appearance

of texture and occasional metallic inks lend a touch of sheen. The four

available color ways include your choice of pearl, beiges, khaki, or taupe

each with gold and each compatible with Granville.

CASABLANCA

Inspired by Aubrey Beardsley and the innovators of the Art Nouveau

movement, this large scale curvilinear design features oversized

lotus blossoms with stylized tulips and sinuous reaching limbs. The

background comes in a myriad of breath-taking colors. The fantastic

plant life is done in gleaming metallic inks; the overall finish, a look of

finest woven nearly-sheer linen. Among the assortment of seven is

elegant lavender with soft gold, deep aubergine with bright gold, or

an ethereal grey/green base with a green/gold pattern. This wallpaper

works beautifully with Cinnabar Stripe in similar hues.

CINNABAR STRIPE

One of the loveliest stripes ever, this wallpaper makes one think of

overlapping layers of the finest semi-sheer linen possible. The subtle

shading and intermittent sheen in color of stripes, ranging from nearly

a foot to several inches in width, gives an ombre appearance and depth

reminiscent of the Art Deco period or the 1920’s; eras for exciting new

design ventures. This handsome wallpaper is elegant in a tailored mode

and quite appropriate for contemporary décor. There are six palettes

including gold with lavender, rust with gold, or soft gold with grey/

green. Use it along with Casablanca.

CHARLESTON

As gracious as its namesake, Charleston possesses the rich elegance

of the Grande Dame of the American South. Massive intricate urn

medallions run vertically and alternate horizontally with lush bouquets

of fruit and flowers. The background appears to be time-worn antique

velvet with a soft reflective sheen while the intricate raised ogee

and floral spray design resembles flocking. Exquisite precious metal

backgrounds shimmer softly with one exception, a remarkably vivid

matte pink with an overlay of creamy beige, also matte. Marry this

wallpaper with Whitaker in compatible hues for a beautiful pairing.

GRANVILLE

A mesmerizing design, this dazzling damask is an artistic triumph. The

masterful artwork takes a large scale ogee pattern and elaborates on it

with intricate stylized botanical elements incorporating metallic gleam

on a lightly speckled ground. There is nothing spare about this pattern.

It is an overall modern interpretation of the rococo period of France that

is available in both neutral and arresting colors. The six selections offer

dark blue with teal and gold, vivid red with gold, or grey/green with gold

and three more. This ornate wallcovering has a flattering companion in

Boxhill Stripe or Chalfont.

WHITAKER

With the warmth and grace of time-worn velvet, this wallpaper appears

to retain a touch of sheen from yesteryear. In actuality this is a current

artistic endeavor that only appears to be a rich textile from the past.

There are five glowing shades with clouds of matte inks to add that look

of antiquity and depth of design. The hues include silver, dark mustard,

or new gold and two more, all of which mix and match with the lovely

Charleston or Andalucía.
