This Tours damask wallpaper is inspired by a brightly coloured green and gold woven silk damask dating from the mid-nineteenth century. The pattern shows scrolling acanthus leaves with flowers and bunches of quince fruit. Its focal point is a stylised flower with an artichoke centre. Designs like this were popular in Europe from the1500s onwards being woven in many countries such as Italy, France, Spain and Britain.
Printed with a soft watercolour effect and elevated to perfection with a hint of metallic, Tours is an effortlessly sophisticated addition to Zoffany’s Damask wallpaper range.
