Considered to be French in origin, Benwick is typical of the Louis XVI style, which later evolved into the Regency aesthetic in England; a period when stripes were especially popular in both wallpapers and fabrics. The design was used in the restoration of the salon at Charles Dickens’ house on Doughty Street, now the Dickens House Museum, and was more recently featured in the restoration of Home House on Manchester Square, London.
This stripe wallpaper is ideal for those seeking traditional wallpaper with historical depth and a sense of quiet luxury. Wallpaper samples are available to help you visualise this elegant design in your home.

Bringing together traditional methods, an archive of historical designs, and a range of contemporary colours, our hand-blocked wallpapers are a sumptuous statement for any room.
We use the original handmade pear wood blocks and rollers to produce our papers the traditional way. We have a wide range of designs with a variety of scales and styles, along with the skilled ability to produce rolls in any colour to transform the distinctive into the truly unique.
When our designs were first drawn for the block makers in Watts’ early years they would have been coloured specifically for each job. Today we can offer a wide range of colours but we take great care to use a palette that is true to our design roots.
Using traditional materials helps as part of today’s drive to create sustainable buildings but best of all it ensures that the printed surface avoids the plastic monotony of alkyd and acrylic paints.
