Blanchard Ashlar Colorway by Geremia Design - two widths shown
Adelphi Paper Hangings asked designers Lauren Geremia from Geremia Desgin to create custom colorways for five historical wallpapers. Read more about Geremia Desgin and what inspired Lauren to create the color ways.
One mark of a successful block printed pattern is when multiple design characteristics are rendered with just a few blocks. In the case of this ashlar (originally installed in the Medford, Massachusetts home of Andrew Blanchard) not only are the tools of dimensionality – bright highlights and accompanying shadows – depicted, but the nearly geologically accurate marbling is evident. And with only 3 print blocks!
As with other ashlars, this one is was intended for entry halls and staircases.
Imperial Measurements: Repeat 17 ¼ inches, width 18 ¾ inches, length 11 yards, straight match.
