The majestic bluff which overlooks the East River of New York City is home to the opulent community of Brooklyn Heights and its famous riverfront walkway, offering magnificent views of the Manhattan skyline. Stroll the promenade, enjoy the view and take in the beautiful neighborhood of brownstones and picturesque mansions which comprise the largest and very first American Historic District – New York’s Brooklyn Heights. CLASSIC FAUX This slightly textured wall paper has the warm look generally acquired through passing time and wear. A net of broken irregular lines suggests surface crackles while clouded, albeit softly glowing, coloration simulates use and age. These characteristics, plus the seven available palettes, make this pattern a perfect partner for Framed Damask or Classic Stripe with Damask Trellis. SCROLL STRIPE This broad striped pattern alternates four inch crackled bands with four inch ribbons of raised ornate design. That vertical pattern is outlined in narrow pen strokes of intertwining lines and the antiqued field has the slightest warm glow. The four selections include palest aqua with taupe and cream or gold with taupe and foggy blue/grey, plus two more. Potential partners are Classic Faux or Ornamental Outline in coordinated colors. ORNAMENTAL OUTLINE Located across the East River from Manhattan, Brooklyn Heights boasts blocks of picturesque brownstone row homes with charming façades and hidden gardens. This large scale artist’s concept of chrysanthemums with foliage would be quite appropriate in these preCivil War homes. The raised eighteen inch design rests upon a crackled and distressed field with soft metallic glow. There are several versions: metallic honey gold with brown, teal with beige and brown, and three more. Mix and match with Ombre Diamond or Scroll Stripe. CLASSIC STRIPE WITH DAMASK TRELLIS Parallel lines, from pencil thin to half an inch, form multi-colored clusters of stripes more than two inches wide, set four inches apart. Raised scrollwork, large scale yet slender and delicate, adds a feathery counterpoint to the crisp vertical bands. The addition of crackles and haze suggests patina born of passing years. There are seven color ways; among them is luminous gold with white, taupe, and metallic silver or radiant gold with beige, taupe, and red plum. Partner with Framed Damask and Royal Linen in related hues. FRAMED DAMASK With roots in ancient Damascus along the fabled Silk Road, this lush design made its way to the affluent New York neighborhood of Brooklyn Heights. Foot tall diamond shaped floral medallions are framed with graceful raised foliage while metallic highlights add reflective embellishment. The illusion of antiquity is furthered through the appearance of crackling and haziness on this lovely wall paper. There are seven palettes including rich peacock blue with gold and taupe or silver with beige and cream. Coordinates are Classic Stripe with Damask Trellis and Classic Faux in compatible colors. RAISED CASCADE Horizontal and vertical lines join with subtle color variations to mimic a finely woven fabric. This wallpaper has minimal texture and serves well as a partner to a more elaborate pattern. In two colors, either pale pink with ivory or beige with gold, that can partner with Framed Damask. ROYAL LINEN The combination of a softly gleaming background with horizontal streaks of contrasting matte inks, plus the distinctive pattern of woven threads, adds depth of color and appearance of texture to this linen look-alike. Handsome used alone, the selections include bright gold with chocolate brown or pearlescent pink with yellow/beige plus two more. You may use choose to use them with Acanthus Leaf Trail or Framed Damask. STENCIL BOUQUET STRIPE How charming are these raised floor-to-ceiling garlands dusted with glitter and stenciled on an antiqued background. The four inch wide bands of stylistic flowers and leaves stream vertically at four inch intervals on this textured wall paper. Five selections are available, such as the dark smoke blue with cream, charcoal grey and gold glimmer or aqua with rich beige, white, and silver sparkle. Pair with Framed Bouquet Damask and Classic Faux in similar shades. WOVEN TEXTURE The luxe look of fabric covered walls is easily attainable through the installation of this slightly textured wall paper. It looks like very fine woven cloth, such as silk shantung or dupioni, with considerable horizontal slubs that add to the realism of the design. There are two selections: soft gold with golden tan or grey-speckled cream with pale aqua. Each works well with Framed Damask and Classic Stripe with Damask Trellis in appropriate colors. FRAMED BOUQUET DAMASK Brooklyn Heights boasts a great range of architectural styles; Greek Revival, Italianate, Victorian Gothic and more. This exquisite neo classic wall paper would be an appropriately elegant addition to any of these lovely homes, whether the décor is traditional or contemporary. Urns filled with fan shaped bouquets are framed with strings of beads and garlands of acanthus. The luminous field is striated and clouded with gently contrasting color. The primary pattern is dusted with shimmering highlights. Palettes include variegated Wedgwood blue with cream and taupe or pearlescent cream with gold and white and two more…all of which are ravishing with Stencil Bouquet Stripe and Classic Faux. ANTIQUED MARBLE The shading and inclusions that give marble its visual texture are captured here in the medium of ink on paper. Like the stone from which Greek statuary is chiseled, the colors are rich cream, pale taupe, and light grey. Use this wall paper solo or mix and match with Open Frame or Stripe Damask. OMBRE DIAMOND Small in scale, this delightful diamond pattern is composed of scrolling frames encasing dainty filigree against a striated field with a slight sheen. The four inch pattern is inked in three colors and there are four variations. Choose from palest gold with white and taupe or beige with lilac and grey, among others. Pair with Ornamental Outline or Classic Faux in related hues. STRIPE DAMASK In the tradition of damask, this large scale pattern features medallions, scrolling leaves, and stylized flowers. On most the artist added interrupted vertical pin stripes and gentle shading as colors evolve one into another; but there is one satin finish with radiant gold tones and without the stripes. The results are tasteful and refined softly glowing ombre damasks. Select from light grey with lilac and cream or light gold, aqua, and cream and four more. Use with Ombre Diamond or Classic Stripe with Damask Trellis to complete the look. WEATHERED CRACKLE Clouds of silvery grey wear a web of sporadic taupe lines that add the look of textured crackle. There is an elusive aura of warmth; a pink or lilac like dawn’s first glow. This wall paper is pretty enough to use alone and lovely enough to use with Ombre Diamond and Stripe Damask in silvery greys and pale purples. TRADITIONAL DAMASK Along with picturesque brownstone row homes, Brooklyn Heights boasts a number of elegant mansions. Interior and exterior shots of the neighborhood have frequently been used in film and TV projects. Can’t you see this design in a period movie? The pattern is nearly three feet tall and lavish with oversized medallions and acanthus fronds. The rich pearlescent backdrop and appearance of brushstrokes adds to the antique ambience of this refined traditional wall paper. Half dozen palettes include shades of gold with cream or silver with grey/blue, taupe and cream. Use with Shadows, the made-to-match color coordinate. SHADOWS Mesmerizing… the merging colors and textures of this wallpaper are elegantly contrived through the use of burnished metallic colors that gleam through matte brushstrokes. It reminds one of a painting of paradise viewed from the earth. There are seven heavenly choices such as shades of matte and metallic gold with purplish grey or sterling silver with light grey and beige. Wed to Traditional Damask in coordinating hues. ACANTHUS LEAF TRAIL Poetry in motion…artistry set to music. This swirling design is so enchanting you can almost see it waltz across the wall. The large trailing acanthus leaves seem to pirouette across the distressed lightly crackled field. The colors melt and blend into one another creating a mesmerizing display in five variations; pearl with pale grey/green, pink, and warm beige or indigo blue with palest grey, purple and khaki, among others. For a heavenly union, pair with Shadows or Classic Faux.
