When paper was first used as wallpaper, large sheets of paper were not yet available, so small pieces were joined together to create larger panels that could be painted with scenes and used as wallpaper. We have re-created this antique effect by joining small pieces of paper together in the exact method once used, showing the overlap and lines of each hand-laid piece. Because these papers are all custom colored, any color is possible. The examples here show the effect with painted portions of a scene, and various colors chosen from Benjamin Moore historic colors. The paper can be solid colors, or antiqued, as the sample shown here. We find that the antiquing enhances the overall effect. We generally use Benjamin Moore colors but the customer may submit desired colors to fit their project. These papers come at an additional cost, and may be used with or without painted scenes.
