Dante wallpaper in Mulberry draws on a language of centuires old pattern : the ogee lattice, traced by hand across centuries of textile art, from the ateliers of Central Asia to the drawing rooms of England. Rendered here in a deep, embroidered Mulberry, it carries the warmth of the antique suzani hangings that first inspired it — pieces stitched slowly, by hand, as heirlooms rather than mere furnishings. It is this sense of history, more than any single motif, that gives Dante its dramatic and enchanting character.
Dante Wallpaper in Mulberry
Suzani textiles were traditionally embroidered by young women across Uzbekistan and the wider Silk Road as part of a bridal dowry, each stitch worked slowly over months as a mark of skill, patience and devotion. In translating that tradition into wallpaper, we worked closely with our UK printers to preserve the tactile quality of hand embroidery, so that every curve of the ogee lattice carries the kind of depth and gentle imperfection that only comes from handwork. Mulberry was chosen for its depth: drawn from antique natural dyes, rich and grounded rather than bright, closer in spirit to old textiles than to modern pigment.
Dante wallpaper in Mulberry rewards a considered setting. Its scale and warmth suit a study, dining room or entrance hall equally well, and it sits as comfortably within a contemporary Arts & Crafts scheme as it does a more traditional country house interior. Together with the deep, embroidered texture of the print, this makes for a paper that anchors a room without ever overwhelming it. As a result, Dante brings quiet drama and a sense of lived-in warmth to whichever wall it graces, immersing the room in its softly storied character.
