Luxurious homes featuring woodblock printed panoramic wallpapers from the premier French manufacturer Zuber & Cie.

Since its founding in 1797, Zuber & Cie wallpapers' fame has spread far and wide, from King Louis Philippe awarding Jean Zuber the Legion of Honor in 1834 to Jackie Kennedy installing Zuber's "Vues de l'Amérique du Nord" in the White House. According to France Today, the company still uses the same antique woodblocks, the same paint formulas, and the same time-honored processes to create its stunning wallpapers as it did in Jean Zuber's time.

Gorgeous displays of friezes, borders, ceiling roses and architectural trompe l'oeil, have been photographed for Zuber in homes in the United States, France, and the United Kingdom.

Praise for this book

Lavishly illustrated with glorious photographs taken in largely private interiors, this book provides access to a storied world few readers may ever glimpse. In her foreword, Altschul acknowledges her privilege in being able to live with Zuber, and after an hour spent with this book, most read- ers would be equally captivated by the beauty, detail and character of this his- torically important paper. It is a book that will appeal to numerous readers, on both a historic and decorative level.--Madelia Hickman Ring "Antiques and The Arts Weekly" (12/27/2019 12:00:00 AM)

Zuber: Two Centuries of Panoramic Wallpaper celebrates the luxurious patterns, friezes, borders, ceiling rose and architectural trompe l'oeil. It is both a reference and art book and one look at the collection will make it easy to understand how King Louis Phillipe awarded founder Jean Zuber the Legion of Honor in 1834.
