My final bird inspired post features the British company de Gournay, the source for the worlds most beautiful hand painted wallpapers, fabrics and porcelain. It comes as no surprise that top designers like Miles Redd and Kelly Wearstler choose de Gournay papers for their most important interior design projects. I’m especially fond of the Chinoiserie Collection depicting exquisite birds and flowers hand painted in the most gorgeous colors imaginable, using the same techniques as in the 18th century. Please enjoy these breathtaking works of art!
