Large panel of a wallpaper hanging with the Armes de France and the monogram of Charles Philippe de France, later Charles X, circa 1820-1825

[ translate ]

Large panel of a wallpaper hanging with the Armes de France and the monogram of Charles Philippe de France, later Charles X, circa 1820-1825,
plate printing on stumped paper in ochre monochrome imitating gold and white on a brushed royal blue background. The hanging consists of a wallpaper with repeated motifs of heraldic fleurs-de-lys, a lower border with interlaced laurel and lily crowns and the upper border with the arms of France in the large necklace of the Holy Spirit alternating with the monogram CP for Charles Philippe de France inscribed between laurel palms. Mounted on old canvas, (some light folds, old restorations), 258 x 230 cm.
This decoration was featured in the Retrospective Wallpaper Exhibition of 1900; it is most often referred to as the wallpaper for the hanging of the Coronation of Charles X without this attribution being really documented. However, there is no doubt that it was commissioned for the furnishing of a royal residence, perhaps for the Tuileries Palace or Saint-Cloud?
An identical paper lined the walls of the antechamber of Madame du Cayla's room at the Château d'Haroué.
