Abstract
With
their lively depiction of flowers and birds or scenes from antiquity, overdoor
panels in papier peint constitute a specific element of middle class interior
decoration which is little studied. This paper aims to highlight the use of
some of these panels in hand blocked wallpaper at the end of the eighteenth
century and at the beginning of the nineteenth century. This review of the main
French Manufactures and designers sheds some light on this little known aspect
of Western art and design.
