OAKLEAF | Bruce Fine Papers x Notswolds

£400.00
COLOUR:

Oakleaf is a richly layered all-over pattern that brings warmth, rhythm and quiet character to a room.

Drawn from a historic design in the Bruce Fine Papers archive, the original was discovered pasted to the back of a picture frame and is thought to date from the 18th or 19th century. Carefully restored, it is now reissued using traditional hand block printing, preserving the softness, depth and irregular beauty of the original.

With its scrolling leaf forms and balanced repeat, Oakleaf feels both decorative and enduring, equally at home in a country house, townhouse or more contemporary interior.

Minimum order quantity 2 rolls.

British craftsmanship

Each paper is produced in Lincolnshire using a process that has remained largely unchanged since the 16th century. One of only a handful of workshops still working this way, Bruce Fine Papers began in 1994 with Alex Bruce. 30 years later, Alex is still at the forefront of the company, working in partnership with his wife Naomi, and alongside their children Ellie and Jake.

Hand block printing was first used for wallpaper by early British printmakers in the 16th Century, it’s possibly one of the earliest printing techniques in the world, and today, whilst Hand Block Printed Wallpaper may be on the Red List of Endangered Crafts, we believe it is important to keep this traditional craft and true quality of printed wallpaper alive.

A way of working built on time, skill and continuity, carried forward from one generation to the next. As we see it, simply good work by good people
