“Gästgivars” reproduction 19th century wallpaper by Duro

Painter Jonas Wallström was born in Arbrå, Hälsingland in 1798. He lived in the parish of his birth his entire life (he died in 1862) and decorated numerous rooms in his home district, including at the Gästgifvars farm in Vallsta. The inspiration for this wallpaper came from there. Wallström enjoyed working with stencils, as depicted here, and using clean, clear colour scales.
