William & Mary French Gray Non-Woven Wallpaper

Vacuum when needed with a soft brush attachment, avoiding water or any wet cleaning agents. For stubborn marks, consider using a kneaded eraser or a dry cleaning sponge, being cautious not to scrub too hard or use excessive pressure.

The provenance of Royal Delft “William & Mary” dates back to the 1600s, when thematic tile plaques were commissioned and manufactured in Delft based on designs by Daniel Marot. Marot served as principal designer to William of Orange and also worked at William and Mary’s court in England (1694–1697), playing a pivotal role in furnishing and decorating the Water Gallery at Hampton Court Palace. The design features a blue Delft vase within a three-lobed ornament or trefoil, surrounded by a cartouche with large curling acanthus leaves and flowers filled with diamond ornamentation on either side of the trefoil, and a bird perched on the cartouche. Delft tiles were often used to seal damp walls from moisture, and as Stadhouder of Holland and King of England, William III decided to tile the Thames-side rooms with exceptionally beautiful glazed tiles to keep out dampness. The project was never completed, as Mary died in 1694, and the rooms were demolished as early as 1700. The plaques were sold individually and disappeared, only resurfacing in 1923 when an art dealer put ten of them on the market. They are now housed in various museums, including the Metropolitan Museum, the Rijksmuseum in Delft, Copenhagen, and Sèvres. With reverence for the originals and equal parts artistic license, we carefully restored their beauty on a new medium in fabric using a fine Belgian linen and cotton blend.
