“Franska buketten” reproduction wallpaper by Lim & Handtryck

This grand rocaille damask is a reconstruction based on a block-printed sample in blue and gray discovered in a broken wooden door on the Ryholm property in Västergötland. The rococo revival wallpaper was presumably installed at the beginning of the 1860s, when the main building on the property was remodeled, the remainder mainly in Empire style. The lively flower bouquet  in shades of gray twists and turns elegantly up towards the light, and the style of the flowers appears typical of French wallpapers between 1830 and 1860.
