For many a Victorian style bedroom has an antique but typically feminine feel to. The Victorian era started in the 1830’s and was around until 1900 (when Queen Victoria died) and there are many variations to be had relating to the style of a Victorian bedroom but hopefully the points provided below will help you when decorating a Victorian bedroom for yourself.
Chinoiserie wall stencil / Chinoiserie Wallpaper
Hand-painting, the Chinese traditional workmanship was used commonly in the process of furniture, adornments, and accessories such as Lacquer ware, Chinese calligraphy and porcelain more than 3000 years ago... in the late 17th Century, the same painting skills started being used to create these creative wallpapers made in panels about four feet square and were shipped in this form to Europe.
It is a beautiful series of hand-painted wallpaper designs based on classical Chinese themes and be recognized as the highest form of wallpaper art. It dates from c.1800 and was intended to form a panoramic view of an Oriental garden. The garden is planted with flowering trees and shrubs in vases, and the viewer looks out over an alabaster balustrade. When an upholsterer like Thomas Chippendale was employed to redecorate a room, he expected the owner to supply the Chinese paper himself.
The style of painting done today is in the same historical style that wallpaper scenes created a mural effect that would cover the walls of an entire room without repeating the design, The motifs were of three types: life and occupations, birds and flowers, or figures and trees. Depictions of all the elements were realistic: botanists copied some designs for their own illustrations, some of designs are extended from famous historic calligraphies and paintings such as .Today these designs are appropriate for most Dining Rooms, Bed Rooms, Living Rooms and Entryways of today's interiors. The same painting skills used by Chinese artists thousands of years ago are still used to create these lovely wallpapers. The talented Chinese artists hand paint each wallpaper panel with exquisite detail and elegance to create murals of timeless beauty
