Description

Welcome to Adelphi Paper Hangings, producer of the finest quality, block-printed wallpapers available on the market today. Our wallpapers are meticulously reproduced from original documents and hand-printed by skilled artisans using the same methods and materials employed in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

Our work is based on exhaustive and continuing research into methods, materials, techniques and styles...
