The Purnon Papers

The impressive patterns of the wallpaper collection The Purnon Papers by the traditional English manufacturer Farrow & Ball were discovered in the French Château de Purnon. The château in the Loire Valley is currently being lovingly renovated by the two Englishmen Felicity Selkirk and Tim Holding. They turned to Farrow & Ball for advice on the design of several rooms. When creative director Charlotte Cosby saw the old patterns and colours on the walls of the 18th century building on site, she was so impressed that Farrow & Ball decided to dedicate a wallpaper collection to them.

Charlotte Cosby's team carefully remodelled and renewed the historic patterns. Their design also suits elegant, modern furnishing concepts. The wallpapers are produced on traditional printing machines in Dorset, England.
