Cogges Manor

Colourway:

c.1896. Discovered in the hall of Cogges Manor Farm, Oxfordshire, Cogges Manor is a richly historic wallpaper design from c.1896. Characteristic of the machine-printed "sanitary papers" of the era, this luxury wallpaper was originally used in high-traffic areas such as hallways, boot rooms, and entranceways. These papers were often lacquered to create a wipeable, practical surface without sacrificing decorative appeal.

The repeating mosaic-style pattern gives the design a refined structure, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a sophisticated yet durable wallpaper accent wall. Whether used to frame an entranceway or bring subtle depth to a cloakroom, Cogges Manor delivers quiet elegance grounded in function and history.

Printed in England

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.

Bespoke Colouring

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.
