The history of panoramic paper
Heir to panoramic tapestries, which covered the walls of homes to insulate them while offering précious ornamentation, panoramic wallpaper first appeared in the 19th century. In recent years, panoramic wallpaper has made a comeback. Very much in vogue, it is now adorned with a wide range of patterns and ornaments to become the star attraction of your room. This type of wall decoration is older than it seems. By applying lilies whose motifs follow one another, these decorations become veritable trompe-l'œil mural frescoes, taking us into another world. At the beginning of the 19th century, with the rise of the bourgeoisie and the development of society salons, the subjects of these painted panoramas were often mythological scenes, landscapes, historical landscapes, genre scenes, exotic scenes or chinoiseries. A few years later, with the development of railroads and steam engines, new means of transport and long-distance travel became popular. A number of pioneering manufacturers created spectacular designs, some of which can still be seen today. Among these pioneering companies are Dufour, Desfossé and Délicourt. Painters such as Jean-Gabriel Charvet, Jean-Julien Deltil and Pierre-Antoine Mongin were called upon to create these creations. In the 1850s, although there were still a few fine creations, the vogue for panoramic paper waned due to a lack of innovation in subjects and techniques. This type of décor continues to exist, but is becoming more discreet in interiors, shrinking in size and leaving its place to trinkets. Today, panoramic papers draw their inspiration from these classic themes as well as from really contemporary themes. Thanks to digital printing, the only limit to their ornamentation is your imagination. Digital printing makes it possible to design spectacular, high-quality horns at affordable prices.
The origin of this word
The adjective “panoramic” comes from the word “panorama”. The Greek origins of this word suggest the notion of a circular view obtained from an elevated position above a landscape, so that nothing interferes with contemplation, which is not the case for our panoramic wallpapers. As for the adjective panoramic, it first appeared in the 1840s.
Focus on panoramic wallpaper and its trends
Like all ornamentation, panoramic wallpaper has its trends. Landscape and historical panoramas are currently in vogue. These decorations, often inspired by older paintings and decorations, offer spectacular historical trompe-l'oeil. More broadly, the trend is towards nature, tropical and exotic themes. There has also been a resurgence in art déco and géométrique. Les Papiers de Paris offers you a range of backgrounds based on these themes, so you can sublimate your interiors and create a tailor-made backdrop unlike any other.
