Georgia Horton offers vintage wall murals

A Georgia Horton product story

Edited by the Interiorstalk editorial team Mar 1, 2010

Georgia Horton is now offering a preserved collection of vintage murals dating back to the early 20th century.

Part of a limited edition of wallpaper panoramics (the Original Scenic Mural Collection), the panels were printed by Arthur Sanderson and Son in London, largely during the 1920s.

The vintage Kew Gardens mural (circa 1926) measures 6.60m in length and 4.49m in height

The bright and colourful murals are all fully authenticated and still in their original wrappings.

Sanderson used two methods in production - hand-screen printing and hand-block printing - and there are seven 'scenics' in the collection, with panoramic views of subjects such as Hyde Park and Kew Gardens.

The vintage Kew Gardens mural (circa 1926) measures 6.60m in length and 4.49m in height.

Hand-printed using 134 different blocks, the Kew Gardens mural is comprised of 12 panels, each measuring 4.49m in height.

Together they create a panorama with a total length of 6.6m.

This mural can also be seen in London's Eltham Palace, dating from its restoration by the Courtauld family in the 1930s.

Now available to buy from Georgia Horton, the vintage Sanderson murals are offered in seven different designs - some with a choice of colourways.

Prices range from GBP987 to GBP1,974, depending on the size and complexity of the design.

Availability is limited as the murals will never be reprinted.
