1838 Wallcoverings V&A Decorative Papers II Garland of Ragini Mural

Featuring peacocks, stylised palms and lotus blossoms on a tranquil river, this enchanting wall mural is based on an exquisite Indian artwork from the early 18th century. Dramatically enlarged from the small, hand-held painting to form an eye-catching, large-scale mural, the pattern now repeats across the wall in splendid celebration of the spirit of the original masterpiece. In the Day colour option stunning shades of deep blue, aqua, and green make up this pictorial landscape scene. One roll contains 4 panels (A, B, C & D) for the full design. The design can be repeated out to cover further walls by using another roll in the same order (A B C D) until the required area is papered. Depending upon the wall height, the panel can be trimmed at the top, bottom or both to create the desired scene.
