Design: Amsee Geometric

This handsome surface printed geometric wallpaper has been faithfully reproduced from the original which was likely to have been created using the more lab intensive method of hand block printing wallpapers pre 1839. After the mechanisation of printing, production in Britain rose from around one million rolls in 1834 to nearly nine million rolls by 1860. This stylish classic geometric is offered in seven chalky colways and printed on a nonwoven matt heavyweight ground for ease of hanging. Whilst little history is available from this wallpaper found in the English Heritage archive, the team at Designers Guild were drawn to the modernity and architectural form of the design.
