An ornate and graceful scrollwork damask wallpaper, screen printed using a subtle flecked metallic ink on soft chalky grounds of old olive green, charcoal, grey, cream and mole, Carmen, takes its name from the well-known French opera by Georges Bizet. The design dates from 19th century France and based on its pattern repeat, almost certainly originated from a silk weaving mill, probably around Lyon. It is produced here on a 68.5cm roll.
