OUR PHILOSOPHYHand-Embroidered Wallcoverings
Hand-Embroidered Wallcoverings
The designs in this collection are executed entirely in embroidery, most often onto a fabric ground. These hand embroidered fabrics are then stretched onto the walls as wall upholstery or used for drapery and specific furniture upholstery applications. We can embroider our designs onto our own range of fabric grounds which includes silk, linen, velvet and wool sateen, as well as onto client-supplied fabrics. The embroidery can be executed in a wide range of materials, such as silk threads, metallic threads, glass beads, sequins, raffia and much more. The embroidered designs offer incredible texture, vitality and drama whilst the fabric grounds provide wonderful acoustic benefits to a room. Our embroiderers are exceptionally skilled at their craft and create embroideries of great refinement, with unparalleled attention to detail.
EXPLOREPorcelain
Porcelain
At de Gournay, porcelain is treated as an art form - entirely composed and painted by hand, following traditions perfected over centuries. Within the studio, artisans work with the same skill and expertise that once defined the great porcelain workshops of 18th-century China, transforming raw clay into objects of exceptional refinement.

Hand Embroidery
de Gournay’s embroidery finish can be used to embellish designs, adding another level of depth and intricacy to any of our silk hand painted wallpapers and fabrics. The embroidery is applied entirely by hand using pure silk threads which are carefully selected for every order to match the colour palette.
