Antique chinoiserie wallcovering revitalised

Zilmers is inspired by antique wallcoverings with chinese motifs from Gammel Estrup Manor Museum for the new revitalised wallcovering collection 
"Mosaics by Zilmers" 

At the manor of Gammel Estrup you will find the very special Chineese room with beautiful framed canvas wallcoverings from approx 1720

The framed wallcovering is specially designed for this room and fits exactly from the panel to the ceiling

This wallcovering is so very special that half of the panels has been removed into the National Museum of Denmark 

The canvas is painted with many different techniques, witch gives it a unique and vibrant look

When inspected closely the background of the paintings will surprise you
A special paste was applied by hand, then gilded and then painted

Here you can see the gilding combined with the painting on the canvas

Zilmers was inspired by this unique wallcovering and revitalised it to a contemporary look of today
Let me present:
Mosaics By Zilmers

Mosaics by Zilmers is a collection of minature canvas wallcoverings, that can be combined in your own composition again and again. 

Each canvas is 20cm*20cm

Each mosaic is handmade with the special technique from 1720 
and then covered with Gold, Silver or copper 

Luxurious, vibrant, historical, contemporary and minimalistic.
