LE GRAND SIECLE
Made in France
Required 2 to 3 years of work
Inspired by British naval Captain Cook's voyages in the Pacific
This panoramic wallpaper was published in 1804 by Manufacturer Dufour. It is believed to be one of the first panoramic wallpapers ever created, sparking a fashion for this large-scale form of luxury decoration. It required 2 to 3 years of work, and was a true technical feat. Designed by Jean-Gabriel Charvet, it was directly inspired by British naval Captain Cook’s voyages in the Pacific (1773-1779) but also by those of Bougainville. It represents Vancouver Island, Tahiti, Vanuatu, Hawaii, New Zealand, Alaska Bay, New Caledonia, the Marquesas Islands, Easter Island, the Admiralty Islands, the Palau Islands… as well as their inhabitants. Its subject appealed to the growing European taste for the perceived idyllic way of life in the South Pacific.
The panoramic wallpaper is garnered from collections in Le Musée des Arts Décoratifs de Paris. There are other copies available, notably at Le Musée des Ursulines in Mâcon (France), the National Gallery of Australia and the Fine Arts Museums De Young in San Francisco.
Owing to the manufacturing process, there could be small variations in colors from one production batch to the next. If possible, avoid buying different parts of the same design several weeks apart.
