Filipsborg reproduction 19th century wallpaper by Lim & Handtryck

This pattern is a reconstruction from a fragment found in a boudoir (a ladies’ daytime sitting room) in Filipsborg Manor in Kalix. Diamond patterns were common in late Empire style, which was influenced by the aesthetics of the gothic revival movement as well as by Empire style’s core neoclassical lines and motifs. When roller-printed wallpaper made its technological breakthrough in the 1850s, these aesthetic ideals were still relevant and diamond patterns were extremely popular.
