Mughal Menagerie wallpaper van Zoffany – A lively menagerie on a golden ground

Step into a world of detail, luxury and historical splendour with the Mughal Menagerie wallpaper from Zoffany. This striking design is inspired by a 19th-century Kalamkari block print from the Zoffany archive and pays tribute to India's rich decorative traditions.

Mughal Menagerie blends classic motifs with modern techniques, bringing an opulently visual scene of animals and ornaments to life.

A historical story in a contemporary guise

The name "Mughal Menagerie" refers to a princely collection of animals — and that is reflected in the design. Peacocks, elephants, goats, squirrels and other creatures are gracefully depicted among floral elements and intricate patterns.

The design is based on Kalamkari, an Indian textile technique that uses wooden blocks to hand-print complex patterns onto fabric. Zoffany has translated this heritage into a wall covering that is simultaneously artistic, cultural and decorative.

Technique and colour: Craft meets innovation

Mughal Menagerie is printed using a combination of traditional and digital techniques. This produces exceptional colour saturation and texture, with particular emphasis on madder-red — a plant-derived hue that, thanks to digital enhancement, appears exceptionally bright and vibrant.
