A Story to Tell

Zoffany’s Darnley collection draws on the evergreen country-house aesthetic. This elegant ‘Stand Wood’ wallcovering, designed by renowned mural artist Melissa White, also picks up on the increasing importance of narrative in design: capturing the feel of an aged artwork, signature brushstrokes add interest as a mythical story unfolds. Other reinterpretations of country-house classics include ‘Darnley’ based on a design from Temple Newsom near Leeds, and ‘Heiress Damask’ which has been reduced in scale from a traditional damask for a more fashion-led look. Find the collection at Style Library.
