Wallpaper birdhouse

Created around 1775, this original wallpaper is probably a creation of manufacturer Réveillon. It represents gnarled branches and many birds (pheasants, peacocks, birds with tuft …) as well as peonies, flowering twigs, and butterflies. The outlines of this wallpaper were originally printed in one color using engraved woodblocks, on paper rolls bound together, and whose background was previously hand brushed. The colors were then applied with brush.

To give life and modernity to this very beautiful wallpaper from the end of the 18th century, our workshop carried out a long and careful digital restoration. Very few changes were made to the original pattern, and the irregularities of the paper were kept, which give it a charming, marbled effect.

Owing to the manufacturing process, there could be small variations in colors from one production batch to the next. If possible, avoid buying different parts of the same design several weeks apart.
