While digital printing techniques are
impressive, nothing compares to the
meticulous craftsmanship found in hand-
painted wallpaper. De Gournay, maker of
exquisite hand-painted wallcoverings, was
founded in 1986 by Claud Cecil Gurney to
fulfill a need. While searching for artisans to
restore the antique wallpaper in Gurney’s
home, he discovered that this traditional
art was on the verge of disappearing and
made it his mission to resurrect it. Each
wallpaper is a unique work of art with each
artist leaving a part of themselves in the
creation. It is this “spirit resonance” that

made replicas. Pictured is the Early Views
of India panoramic wallpaper on deep rich
gold-gilded paper (right) and on antique
scenic Xuan paper (above).

the dimensions, they make an immediate
impact. The finely detailed flowers in
Artistic Tile’s Orchid Dimensional collection
appear to jump off the marble background.
The Petra Carved Stone Collection
represents a balance of the “softness” of
delicate patterns and the “hardness” of its
stone with intricate detail.
