AS FEATURED ON THE BBC

A rare working archive of historic wallpapers and textiles spanning the eighteenth to twentieth centuries.

Used by designers, filmmakers and brands seeking authentic heritage reference.

Authentic heritage reference

The Print Pattern Archive is a rare collection of historic wallpapers and textiles originally gathered in New York and now housed within my studio.

For over a decade I have supplied designers, brands and heritage projects with authentic historical reference and production-ready design.

For interior commissions and bespoke collections, the archive offers something increasingly difficult to source: original heritage material that can be adapted and refined to tell a contemporary story.

Rather than beginning with trend-driven digital assets, my work starts with authentic material — historic wallpapers, antique textiles and timeless colour palettes that bring depth and credibility to interiors.

Ongoing collections are available for license, or I can develop new designs from your brief.

PERIOD FILM SET WALLPAPER

Archive Research, Design Adaptation & Production

Working with the production design team for the Disney period drama A Thousand Blows, I sourced and adapted a historically accurate wallpaper from archival reference.

​

The design was digitised, colour balanced and prepared for production before being manufactured to full fire-retardant specification for installation on set.

The final result brought authentic nineteenth-century decorative detail to the screen, supporting the rich visual storytelling of the series.
