Zuber: Two Centuries of Panoramic Wallpaper Kindle Edition

by Brian D. Coleman (Author), John Neitzel (Photographer) Format: Kindle Edition
4.8 out of 5 stars 143 ratings
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.

Editorial Reviews

Review

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.

-- Cathy Whitlock ― Array Magazine Published On: 2019-11-01

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 Published On: 2019-12-27

Gorgeous study of French scenic wallpaper!
5 out of 5 stars
Gorgeous study of French scenic wallpaper!
This gets my vote for the most beautiful book of 2109, hands down. Filled with breathtaking shots of elegant rooms - salons and dining rooms right on to children's bedrooms - it captures the extraordinary beauty of scenic wallpaper. In this age of white walls and mid-century modern, Zuber wallpaper stand out as a timeless classic. Coleman's text amplifies the pictures as he tells the story of how these complex pieces are produced, just as they were in the eighteenth and nineteenth century. A must-have book for anyone interested in interior design and antiques!
