Did you know that wall paper originated in China around 200 B. C. Then craftsmen hand painted landscapes, birds and flowers on delicate rice papers in small 12” x 18" rectangular pieces. From the Orient, wallpaper moved to the castles of Europe via Persia and took on new patterns and texlures. Marbleized designs, papers lusterized with metal, and handprints from wood blocks began to appear as wall coverings. Paper panels took the place of murals and tapestries and an edict by Louis XVI in the late 1700's fixed the standard roll of wallpaper at 34 feet where it stands today. In the mid 1800’s, the technique of printing paper by machine was invented, and with some notable exceptions, the era of elaborate hand painted wallpaper came to an end.
