Hand painted wallpaper

A longstanding client of de Gournay’s hand painted wallpapers, with an innate understanding of the varied medium, a new series of designs of his own creation celebrates themes and patterns of the natural world in an engaging range of decorative styles. To illustrate the diverse nature of the designs, de Gournay invited a select but disparate group of aesthetes, makers and dealers to each interpret one of the designs.

With Charbonnel & Walker, the United Kingdom’s first luxury chocolatiers, de Gournay’s hand painted expertise has for the first time been applied to a limited run of chocolate boxes – created in celebration of the Coronation of King Charles III and Her Majesty The Queen Consort in May.

Four years in the making, Hannah Cecil Gurney's London home is a love letter to the hand painted wallpapers made by de Gournay - the business founded by her father Claud - and is testament to her continued transformation of the company from cult niche to industry leader.
