The history of panoramic wallpaper
Heir to panoramic tapestries, which covered the walls of homes to insulate them while offering précious ornamentation, panoramic wallpaper first appeared in the 19th century. In recent years, panoramic wallpaper, like landscape wallpapers murals,has made a comeback. Very much in vogue, it is now adorned with a wide range of patterns and ornaments to become the star attraction of your room. This type of wall decoration is older than it seems. By applying lilies whose motifs follow one another, these decorations become veritable trompe-l'œil mural frescoes that take us into another world. At the beginning of the 19th century, with the rise of the bourgeoisie and the development of society salons, the subjects of these painted panoramas were often mythological scenes, landscapes, historical landscapes, genre scenes, exotic scenes or chinoiseries. A few years later, with the development of railroads and steam engines, new means of transport and long-distance travel became popular. A number of pioneering manufacturers created spectacular designs, some of which can still be seen today. Among these pioneering companies are Dufour, Desfossé and Délicourt. Painters such as Jean-Gabriel Charvet, Jean-Julien Deltil and Pierre-Antoine Mongin were called upon to create these creations. In the 1850s, although there were still a few fine creations, the vogue for panoramic paper (see 19th century wallpaper) waned due to a lack of innovation in subjects and techniques. This type of décor continues to exist, but is becoming more discreet in interiors, shrinking in size and leaving its place to trinkets. Today, panoramic papers draw their inspiration from these classic themes as well as from really contemporary themes. Thanks to digital printing, the only limit to their ornamentation is your imagination. Digital printing makes it possible to design spectacular, high-quality horns at affordable prices.
