The Development History Of Wallpaper

The earliest history of wallpaper can be traced back to 1509. It was a woodcut pomegranate pattern inspired by Italian style and was printed on the back of the announcement promulgated by British King Henry VIII at the time. At that time, Henry VIII broke with the Catholic Church, which led to the suspension of trade exchanges between the United Kingdom and Europe. Essence

In the beginning, let the wallpaper walk into the upper society and enter the house of the nobles. At first, London craftsmen imitated the detailed treatment of the building or raw materials such as marble and mud in a manual way and drew a sheet of wallpaper. The production is laborious and time-consuming, so the price is always high. This hand-drawn limited edition, until 1778, gradually declined with the birth of the wallpaper printing machine. The wallpaper produced by a large number of printed prints also walked into the living room of the ordinary people from the house of the nobles.

Until the 19th century, wallpaper has become the cheapest way for most people to afford it, and in narrow and dark rooms that can increase space brightness. Of course, a result of a large number of printing production, in addition to making the cost of wallpaper quickly become close to the people, the low printing quality and style design have become the biggest disadvantage of wallpaper.
