An English Print Room

I spent this morning photographing some beautiful antique original lithographs of Sevres Porcelaines by E. Juliennes (1808-1875).

Many years ago at an Antiques Fair in Brest, Brittany I discovered an old porfolio containing these lithographs and quickly snapped them up.

You see, I had a fancy to decorate the staircase here at the Presbytère in the style of an 18th century English Print Room.

The walls were already painted yellow, all I had to do was persuade Mr B that this was a look that he could live with.

Unfortunately, despite my entreaties, he was unconvinced.

He thought the whole look was too fussy and not in keeping with our French home. C'est la vie!

One day I will get around to framing some of these beautiful lithographs but in the meantime, if you should fancy trying out the English Print Room look for yourself, click on this link to Printrooms.com for the inspiration, and take a peek in my Etsy where you will find some of the Sevres lithographs for sale.
