Wonderful late 19th/ early 20th century French hand painted wallpaper “Vues d'Amérique du Nord ” fragment by the famous French company Zuber, newly framed on a large 19th century Painted frame.

The French firm of Zuber et Cie introduced this scenic wallpaper, Vues d’Amérique du Nord, in 1834. Almost one hundred years later, John Nicholas Brown bought the wallpaper, which was still being printed, from Zuber for this house. Working with architects, Brown carefully designed and decorated the front hallway to evoke an idealized American past shaped in part by his own ancestors. In the 1990s, a renovation of this building brought a new set of this wallpaper from Zuber’s original 1834 wood engraving blocks. The wallpaper also decorates other American homes and public buildings, including the White House..
