Sanderson Water Garden Wallpapers
The Water Garden collection by Sanderson captures the romantic spirit of late 19th and early 20th century English decoration, a time heavily influenced by the enduring allure of Oriental styles. A period where the English nation's fascination with Japanese, Indian, and Chinese patterns was rekindled by newer, younger audiences, reflecting their appreciation of designs found in ancestral homes. Inspired by an extraordinary compilation of documents from the Sanderson archive, Water Garden encapsulates the decadent charm of this period, emphasizing the tranquil beauty of Oriental water gardens. These serene landscapes, replete with exotic plant species, were a fashionable staple in many English country estates and symbolized the aesthetic preferences of the era. In its launch, Sanderson proudly presents some of its most elegant archival pieces, ranging from the striking Emperor Peony to the historically decorated Fusang Tree, and the imperial symbolism of the Chinese Dragon. Each piece beautifully narrates the allure of Eastern-inspired design and the joy it brings when applied to English interiors. The collection's narrative is significantly complemented by the contributions of renowned London wallpaper printer, Jeffrey & Co. (1836 to 1924). Known for their collaborations with pivotal figures in the Arts and Crafts movement, their bold trailing patterns featuring oversized, highly stylised flowerheads on elegant, coiling stems, add a touch of opulence to the Sanderson Water Garden collection.
