“The peacock complained to Juno.
Goddess, he said, it is not without reason
That I complain, that I whisper!
The song with which you gifted me
Displeases nature (...)
- So stop complaining or punishing yourself.
I'll take back your plumage.”

-Jean de la Fontaine

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.
