Mariinsky Damask wallpaper collection Cole & Son

Mariinsky Damask wallpaper by Cole & Son: damask, ornament and stripe

The Mariinsky Damask wallpaper presents classic ornaments and stripes in colours you wouldn't immediately expect with damask. Coral red on burgundy, turquoise alongside ochre, salmon pink stripes against greyish blue: Cole & Son's collection embraces warm tones and presents them boldly. The mood images show antique clocks against the walls, from a black wooden wall clock with brass trim to longcase clocks in dark wood. This immediately shows which rooms these patterns are meant for: spaces with character, collections and furniture with a history.

Patterns in the Mariinsky Damask wallpaper collection

Balabina wallpaper is large-scale damask: acanthus leaves, flowers and long-tailed birds in coral red on dark burgundy. Two colours, lots of movement. Pushkin wallpaper is denser and smaller in scale, a Persian-style ornament with pointed oval medallions and pomegranates in red, turquoise green, ochre and cream on an almost black background. Carousel Stripe wallpaper drops the ornament and works with vertical stripes of unequal width in coral, greyish blue, ochre and lilac-grey, with a painted-looking texture. Carmen wallpaper combines damask with a gold metallic finish and Antique Mirror wallpaper looks like old, weathered mirrors with scratches. Petrouchka wallpaper is named after the ballet of the same name, Fonteyn wallpaper after ballerina Margot Fonteyn. Giselle wallpaper, Bellini wallpaper and Stravinsky wallpaper complete the series.

Mariinsky Damask by Cole & Son in your interior

Choose Balabina if you want a wall that reveals more and more birds and leaves the closer you look; dark wood and red velvet complement it seamlessly. Pushkin calls for brass, gilt and copper, just like in the image. Carousel Stripe suits those seeking colour without ornament and works in a hallway or study, where the vertical line makes the wall appear higher. This is how you choose between ornament and stripe within the Mariinsky Damask wallpaper.
