Holbein

Colourway:

With a host of royal patrons, the Holbein design first featured as the backdrop in 'The Baptism of Louis XIV', one of a series of tapestries designed by Le Burn and woven by the Goblanc factories in 1630. Being redrawn by G.F. Bodley in 1890, the pattern has been used in Ham House and Windsor Castle. Holbein's regal non-directional tangle of lush foliage remains alluring  and is particular useful for small rooms.

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.
