About the Item

Very large panoramic wallpaper panel in the style of the Zuber suites. In the tradition of the exotic panoramas that fascinated Europe in the early 19th century, this work offers an exotic voyage: lush landscapes, scenes of local life, picturesque costumes, tropical fauna... This panel depicts a scene of colonial daily life in a tropical landscape. In the center, an elegant horse-drawn carriage crosses the scene, preceded by a rider running on his horse, followed by a dog. To the left, a man leads a donkey loaded with baskets; beside him, another figure runs barefoot. On the right, two female figures and a male standing figure in striped pants. In the background, a majestic three-masted ship anchored in the bay, with a mountainous backdrop. Zuber & Cie, founded in 1790 and based in Rixheim, Alsace, since 1797, is a manufacturer renowned for its hand-printed panoramic decors using traditional techniques. The Zuber factory is the only one in the world to have maintained the tradition of block printing for the creation of panoramic decors. This artisanal technique, using carved wooden boards, gives each piece unrivalled quality and depth. The Manufacture's archives hold some 130,000 documents, testifying to the richness and diversity of its creations over more than two centuries. The wallpaper was formerly mounted on panel. Missing, worn and restored.
