The Composition

What the mural describes.

Allow your gaze to trace the intricate journey of the Tree of Life, its fantastical trunk burgeoning with impossible blooms – part tulip, part pomegranate, part pure invention. Each petal and leaf, rendered in a palette of deeply aged linen, old wool blue, and forest green, whispers of centuries past. The texture suggests the patient beauty of hand-stitched crewelwork, not the perfect symmetry of a printed design, but the organic, endearing asymmetry of a cherished heirloom. This is the natural darkness of old houses with small windows and thick walls, a darkness that things acquire simply by being kept in England for three hundred years, now brought to your contemporary space.

This mural finds its true home in a staircase hall, where its antiquarian warmth can envelop and transport. Each panel is meticulously numbered and printed to your wall's exact measurements on our premium matt non-woven paste-the-wall paper, ensuring a seamless, bespoke installation that honours the heritage of this exquisite design.

Questions

Asked of the studio.

What is the inspiration behind the Dark Jacobean design?

The Dark Jacobean design is inspired by a piece of 17th-century crewelwork found in a timber-framed farmhouse in the Welsh borders. It translates the Jacobean Tree of Life, with its fantastical flowers and leaves, into a mural wallpaper, capturing the aged beauty of original wool embroidery.

How does the colour palette contribute to the mood of the design?

The palette, featuring Aged Linen Dark, Crewel Indigo, Jacobean Ochre, Forest Wool, and Pomegranate Dark, evokes an antiquarian warmth. These colours are not dramatically dark, but rather reflect the natural hues acquired by objects kept in old English houses with limited sunlight over centuries, creating a sense of history and quiet elegance.

Is the pattern perfectly symmetrical like traditional damask?

No, the Dark Jacobean design embodies the structured informality of embroidery, rather than the perfect symmetry of damask. It features the organic asymmetry of a hand-stitched design, with a central branching trunk from which fantastical flowers grow in alternating directions, making each element unique.
