Bring tropical opulence into your home with the Palmette wallpaper from 1838 wallcoverings

The Palmette wallpaper from the V&A Decorative Papers III wallpaper collection by 1838 wallcoverings celebrates the timeless beauty of tropical flora. Inspired by a historic tapestry design from the archives of the Victoria and Albert Museum in South Kensington, this stunning pattern combines rich colours with an artistic, hand-painted effect. Ideal for transforming a living room, hallway or study into a space full of character and atmosphere.

A masterpiece from the archives brought back to life

The origins of the Palmette wallpaper lie in a carpet design preserved in the prestigious collections of the V&A. The designers at 1838 wallcoverings have masterfully translated this beautiful motif into a wallpaper, fully preserving the artistic nuances and details.

Striking due to traditional surface printing

The Palmette wallpaper is produced using a traditional surface printing technique, developed in 1838 and still used in Lancashire today. This technique produces a rich ink coverage and subtle texture, which not only makes the wallpaper visually impressive, but also adds a tactile dimension.
