Revisiting our collection of wallpapers designed by Michael S. Smith: Curated by pre-eminent antiques dealer Edward Hurst, 'Botanical Studies' was installed within the bedroom of a private house in Dorset. An antique four poster bed from England, with a canopy embroidered by Queen Charlotte herself, anchors the scene alongside Edward's collection of unique and beautiful pieces. The wallpaper references the 17th Century home of Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus, who papered walls of his home with studies by the artist Georg Dionyius Ehret. ‘Botanical Studies’ depicts the quiet beauty of Botany’s golden age with hand painted renditions of Passiflora, Chestnut, Heliotrope, Bauhinia, Grapevine, Gardenias, Sesbania Grandiflora and Indian Pellet Shrub onto individual segments of India Tea paper. @michaelsmithinc @edward_hurst ____________________________⁣ #deGournayHandPaintedInteriors #degournay #interiordesign #handpainted #handpaintedwallpaper #architecturaldigest
