When ordering hand-embroidered wallpaper, the clientselects the shades of threads and the color of the base. Nonsuch Jade Collection (Fromental) Hand-painted silk wallpaper. Ideal for a chinoiserie interior These hand-painted silk wallpapers are separate canvases, or rather, a composition of several components that are prepared for a specific room. The plots, like the production technology, are historical. Peonies, seated pheasants and Chinese pavilions are the main pictorial motifs in the chinoiserie style. You independently choose the layout and size of the product being created (whether it will be located along the entire perimeter of the room or used as a panel on one of the walls), the plot, the background color, and also decide whether embroidery is necessary. It can either be completely absent, or partially complement or completely duplicate the hand painting. If the question of embroidery is resolved positively, you still have to decide on the shades of silk threads. This historical method of wallpaper production is used by the de Gournay and Fromental factories (both in the UK). Order fulfillment period.

Along with the order, the client receives drawings with wall layouts, where each “cut” is assigned a specific serial number. Do you think that all that remains is to simply stick them in the right sequence? No way! To begin with, after carefully leveling the walls – plastering and filling – several months must pass. Then a primer is applied to the base and thick white paper is glued. Then special glue is applied directly to the wallpaper. The time required for the coated canvases to cure is literally counted down by the minute. If you over-cure, the silk will simply peel off from the paper base. It is clear that only a qualified specialist can install such wallpaper. And one more thing: after editing, it may turn out that some genre scenes need to be touched up - after all, both the painting and the embroidery were done by hand, and therefore some mismatch of elements is more than likely.
