St James’s Park

This large damask pattern was found in Marlborough House next to St James’s Park; a grand abode, designed by Christopher Wren and home to the Duchess of Marlborough, friend and confidante of Queen Anne. Originally a dark blue flock on a pale blue ground, the paper is believed to be comparatively recent, though the origins of the general design are Victorian (as a wallpaper) and older still (as a silk fabric). The twist in this interpretation is the light-to-dark ombré effect, which puts bolder colour at the base of the wall and lighter above, with the effect of the making a space feel taller and lighter than it would with a conventional damask design. This wallpaper is one of our mural designs, please refer to the product description to calculate the number of rolls you will need for your project. Supplied in a standard 10m roll, there are three panels, each 3.25m in height with a width of 52cm, making the full repeatable design 1.56m wide.
