Wallpaper pondichery

Designed in 1894, this wallpaper was inspired by the typical patterns made by Indians, it represents branches and various exotic flowers, partly colored in red and madder indigo. It evokes “the Indians”, a fabric very in vogue between the 17th and the 19th centuries.

The background of the original model was initially hand brushed in beige color, then printed by means of engraved woodblocks in 10 different colors on mechanical pulp paper (i.e. made from wood, not from rag).

To revive this lovely wallpaper and bring it up to date, our workshop carried out a meticulous, digital restoration.

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.

Our wallpapers are hung in 3 stages: the preparation of the wall, its pasting, and the hanging. The strips are hung edge to edge and from left to right in the order indicated on the assembly plan supplied with the rolls. To find out more, consult our Hanging instructions page.
