DAMAS ROCOCO

This wallpaper belongs to the long tradition of wallpapers designed to imitate damask and velvet textiles, a style that became highly fashionable in France from the mid-eighteenth century onwards. Inspired by the luxurious furnishing fabrics of the period, its flowing curves and finely detailed ornament embody the elegance of the Rococo style. Patterns of this kind were especially popular in formal reception rooms and other grand interiors.
