Ancient apple orchard Wallpaper by Sanderson: A tribute to timeless British garden traditions

Sanderson’s Ancient apple orchard wallpaper, from the elegant Highgrove collection, celebrates the rich history of British garden art and classic wallpaper design. Based on a 1902 design by Walter Crane, this wallpaper has been completely reworked in the Sanderson studio to capture the atmosphere of the Highgrove Kitchen Garden – a place where tradition, nature and craftsmanship come together.

Historical design with a modern reinterpretation

Ancient apple orchard is inspired by a section of The Orange Tree , an iconic design by British artist Walter Crane. This original 1902 work has been repainted with a contemporary twist, with the design now depicting an apple tunnel in Highgrove’s kitchen garden. Ancient apple varieties are depicted in full bloom or harvested, ready for use in the estate’s restaurant. The wallpaper is based on a 20th century design by Walter Crane.

Craftsmanship and natural beauty

The Ancient apple orchard wallpaper is printed using a surface printing technique that preserves the original print feel of the historical document. The flowing branches, ripe apples and soft movement in the design create a rich, natural dynamic on the wall. The chosen colour tones are inspired by the dark, robust colours of heritage apple varieties – from deep greens to warm reds.
