Description
Celebrating the wonder of the natural world, Botanical Atlas showcases an eclectic array of flora and fauna, crafted with timeless elegance and hued in rich, sophisticated colour palettes. This season takes us on a global voyage and an exploration of magical and fantastical forms. Following Sir Arthur Liberty’s passion for discovery, the collection references his remarkable expeditions to Japan, China, Persia and India during the 1880s-1910s. From trailing Chinoiserie motifs, through to miniature Persian Garden illustrations, Indian Moghul painting and art from the Japanese Edo period, this intrinsically Liberty collection reinterprets traditional techniques with modern accents.
The cross-pollination of styles creates fascinating visual narratives. Rare specimens, sculptural leaves, magnificent flowers, and imaginary forests are juxtaposed with tranquil stripes and mesmerising geometrics.
Meticulously hand-painted in the Liberty Design Studio, in the heart of London, and expertly printed, using traditional and cutting-edge techniques in England and Italy. The wallpapers include delicately textured metallics to lustrous grass-cloths full of luxurious textures and depth of colour.
Inspired by a collection of mid-19th century hand painted shawls from the Liberty archive, Cypress Voyage offers a striking rendition of the much-loved Persian Voyage design – with the original design rescaled and reworked into a brand-new layout. A truly spectacular botanical paisley of tropical palms, feathery fronds, and graceful ferns. Printed on a lustrous grass-cloth base which provides luxurious tactility and richness of colour.
This wallcovering is sold as a 646cm (254.3”) length roll. Printed on grasscloth, it is made up of two (A and B) drops, each measuring 323cm (127.2”) in length by 87cm (34.2”) wide. These need to be cut from the roll before hanging. Both drops match side to side for ease of hanging. To achieve the best results we recommend the use of a professional decorator.
