"I had come to the conclusion that the art of the poet is identical to the art of the disciple. The poet's art returns to sculpting a raw material, be it black or vulgar, into a precious material, just as the alchemist, in his laboratory, transforms vile lead into radiant gold. "Give me all the mud of mankind and I will make gold for all eternity!"

Available by 9.8 yard roll in a luxury matte finish or by the meter in vinyl linen or performance vinyl.

Founded in 2019, the French wallpaper brand Papier Francais is defined by the rediscovery, restoration, and revival of iconic wallpapers dating back to the French “Golden Age of wallpaper” of the 18th and 19th centuries. Papier Français’s inaugural N°1 collection emerged in partnership with the prestigious Bibliothèque Nationale de France. Papier Français selected 80 of the most acclaimed designs from the library’s archive – all of breathtakingly rich colors and intricate composition – to restore its document colorways in modern finishes. These historic designs have been digitally printed for modern day interiors.
