This decorative wallpaper was produced by the Jacquemart & Bénard manufacture, in 1805. It represents a quadillage enhanced with flowers and peacock feathers.

Active from 1791 to 1809, the Parisian manufacturer Jacquemart & Bénard succeeded the Réveillon manufacturer, which was destroyed by the revolutionaries in April 1789. From then until 1809, the Jacquemart & Bénard manufacturer became famous throughout Europe. A very creative manufacturer, it produced more than a hundred new models of wallpaper every year. It was especially skilled at printing plant-like patterns on wallpaper, as well as light and diaphanous fabrics following the fashion launched by Queen Marie-Antoinette (embroideries, trimmings, ribbons, lace, festoons of precious stones, pleats, draperies, texture effects…). Jacquemart & Bénard took part not only in the decoration of public buildings, but was also involved in official ceremonies. For instance, it was commissioned by the Convention Government to decorate the Palais des Tuileries.

Interesting facts

Originally, this wallpaper was very damaged and had a dark khaki background color. We chose to make it brighter to give it a more modern feel. At the end of the 18th / beginning of the 19th century, it was quite common for manufacturers to smooth the backgrounds of their wallpapers with this type of green / mastic color, which corresponded to the taste of the time.

The patterns on this design, despite their very geometric overall look, are a graphic tribute to the peacock, with its feathers surrounding the diamonds, and its wheel evoked in the central patterns. Funny detail: the center of the feathers is made up of two embedded hearts.
