Today I had the pleasure of seeing the most beautiful wallpaper and textile samples… if you are familiar with the name de Gournay you know what I mean, otherwise run to their website and enjoy the exquisite hand painted wallpapers, hand painted fabrics , hand painted porcelain and hand carved furnishings.
Rachel de Gournay from the de Gournay family and Gwendolyn Rayner, director of the New York Showroom were in Vancouver to do a presentation. What a treat to see …and touch…the real thing which I admired many times on paper or online.
Silk, Tea paper, Linen, Organza, all the best materials are used to customize wallpaper or textiles to adorn the most exclusive residences or public spaces.
Many collections to choose from and all can be customized to your desire.
Japanese style
Chinoiserie style
Eclectic style
I was so mesmerized that I could not resist to take pictures even from the glossy catalogues on the table:
Expensive? Perhaps!
Priceless? Absolutely!

That mirror in the first picture is to die for!
Albarosa I could not agree with you more! de Gournay is so exquisite, so breathtaking! That black and gold with the fawn is too lovely for words, and the Early Views of Italy in Azure, one would never tire of this!
