The Composition

What the mural describes.

A coral-terracotta silk ground (#c87858) sets the stage for a salon garden of the imagination, painted in vivid chinoiserie gouache in the tradition of eighteenth-century European screen painting. A blue-and-gold macaw — cobalt back, golden-yellow breast, long tail feathers cascading — presides from a stone balustrade with aristocratic composure. Above him, a sulphur-crested cockatoo perches on a high branch, brilliant white against the warm coral, its lemon-yellow crest half-raised. Below, at the waterline, a pair of mandarin ducks drift in untroubled company, the drake a carnival of orange sail feathers and purple breast, the hen beside him soft brown with a white eye-ring. A pagoda rises in the middle distance, its blue-tiled roofs glimpsed through weeping willow fronds that hang their pale-green curtains across the sky. Peonies and roses tumble from an ornamental urn and spread in a ground-level bush; climbing jasmine and clematis ascend the bamboo lattice fence. Every colour carries a rosy coral undertone, so the macaw's electric blue reads warmer than it should — as if lit from within by the silk itself.

Printed to your wall's exact measurements on matt non-woven paste-the-wall paper and supplied as numbered drop panels, this mural transforms any room into a salon garden. Particularly at home in a dining room, dressing room, or large bedroom. Custom colourways — alternative silk grounds or adjusted bird plumage — are available as bespoke commissions.

How It Arrives

A roll, a paste, a named hanger.

Each mural is printed to the exact measurements you submit — width, height, and drop — then supplied as sequentially numbered panels, ready to hang in order. Paste system: standard overlap paste, seams pattern-matched. No trimming required.

We work with a trusted network of specialist paperhangers. At the order stage we can introduce a recommended installer in your area — or supply full installation notes for your own hanger.

Questions

Asked of the studio.

Can I order this mural to fit my exact wall dimensions?

Yes — every panel is printed to your wall's precise measurements. At checkout you provide the width and height; we produce numbered drop panels that align seamlessly. There is no minimum or maximum size.

What is the paper like to hang, and can I order a custom colourway?

The mural is printed on a high-quality matt non-woven substrate — paste the wall, hang in numbered sequence, butt-join the drops. No specialist installer required. Alternative ground colours — dusty rose, pale aqua, warm ivory — are available as bespoke commissions; contact us before ordering to discuss.
