Exotic Enlightenment
The late 18th century was the golden age of chinoiserie wallcoverings, and its designs continue to be in demand today. Watts of Westminster sourced its ‘Walzin Chinoiserie’ from the archives of the Château de Walzin, a picture-perfect Belgian castle; a combination of highly detailed imagery and a clever use of proportion gives it a beguiling narrative, with flowering trees and bamboos punctuated with exotic birds. It’s available in a set of six panels.
