Zuber Panoramic Woodblock Wallpapers

During the period 1797-1830, Zuber's workers carved over 150,000 woodblocks and 130,000 designs, which are now classified as historical monuments. Zuber has a vast repertoire of creations, including earthly paradises, fantastical bestiaries, magnificent horizons, spectacular landscapes, lush flora, and architectural treasures. Thus, Zuber's creations can be adapted to any décor style, including historic interiors as well as pure, minimalist designs. Among Zuber's products are ceilings for yachts that are available internationally because of their technical expertise and style. There is therefore a unique quality to every wallpaper. Despite the passage of time, Zuber & Cie's panoramic wallpaper continues to appeal to modern consumers. As part of its historical preservation projects, the firm uses original antique printing blocks listed as cultural landmarks in the French Culture Ministry. 

Various types of wallpaper have been produced by the French through the ages, with their scenic landscape papers of the nineteenth century being among the most impressive. Besides scenic wallpaper, the factory also produced a wide variety of decorative wallpaper patterns that included friezes, ceiling roses, borders, and trompe l'oeil. Thousands of woodblocks had to be engraved to accomplish this task. The wallpaper had a panoramic effect with non-repeating scenes covering the walls of a room. By transforming rooms into murals, these wallpapers transport viewers to a faraway place or provide a glimpse into a bygone era. It was a golden age for scenic papers in North America and Europe from the 1800s to the 1860s, even though they continued to be published afterward. As of today, these papers are only produced by Zuber et Cie.
