Zulu Border 109-13060

Description

African art 7

Zulu Border 109-13060 is from the Ardmore collection of wallpapers.

Zulu Border 109-13060 is inspired by the pedestal base of a ceramic vase, this striking leopard spot border design has been created to be hung horizontally around the base of a wall but as a further option it can be hung vertically as a reverse match to create a dramatic and opulent wide graduated stripe. Featuring an ornamental ‘moulded’ edge atop a softly graduated band of leopard spot markings, this border design will be a striking addition to any interior. At 70cm high, it is sold on a ten metre roll.

Colour palettes are drawn from the natural landscape: from the chalky, ochred desert plains and sun-bleached shimmering outcrops to the vibrant fresh greens of water-kissed rainforests and exotic colourings of native flora and fauna. The result, a strikingly sophisticated collection of wallpapers that includes soft and subtle explorations of the majestic landscape as well as colourful creations capturing the vibrancy of traditional African culture.

The Savuti is one of Africa’s most loved and well known national parks where hoopoes and hornbills call and sing whilst baboons and chameleons sun themselves in flowering Coral Trees. This wonderful African garden has been recreated as a wallpaper in seven colourful and distinctive colourings each offering a different look – a bright orange and charcoal with a monotone engraved feel – a duck egg and old stone with a more faded and antique illustrative tones, and a series of three brightly coloured more child-like colourings on grounds of cram, dark petrol and khaki.

Cole & Son was founded in 1875 by John Perry, the son of a Cambridgeshire merchant.   Situated in Islington in north London, the business was built and developed in an area famous for the 190 hand block printing factories, working there in both the 18th and 19th centuries.

From these early beginnings, Cole & Son have moved to their current position in the wallpaper industry and continue to develop in the spirit of innovation and development, that began over a 130 years ago.
