The Inlaid Garden — Mughal Pietra Dura Arch Wallpaper

A garden kept inside an arch, the way the Mughal emperors kept theirs. The Inlaid Garden is drawn after parchin kari — the stone inlay of the Taj Mahal and the Red Fort, known in Europe as pietra dura — in which every petal and leaf is a separate piece of coloured stone set flush into polished marble.

The Aesthetic

Tall cusped Mughal arches stand side by side on a black ground, each framed by a fine gold line and a border of scrolling vines, roses and small birds. Inside every arch a single flowering plant rises from a cluster of pomegranates — irises, tulips, roses, poppies and narcissus in mirror symmetry — with hoopoes and songbirds at the crown. The colours are the stones a lapidary would choose: lapis blue, carnelian red, jade green, saffron yellow and mother-of-pearl white, set against the dark ground so each flower reads clearly from across a room. The look of inlaid stone, its sheen and its depth, belongs to the printed image; the wallpaper itself is flat. It suits rooms that come alive at night — a dining room, the wall behind a bed, a home bar, a library or a powder room.

Features

• Design: Mughal arch niches with inlay-look flowering plants, hoopoes and songbirds, after Mughal parchin kari stone inlay. A new design in that tradition, not a copy of a historical panel.
• Palette: Black, Lapis Blue, Carnelian Red, Jade Green, Saffron and Ivory, with gold-line borders.
• Finish: Matte print on a flat surface. The stone, gold and depth are printed; there is no real stone, gold leaf or raised texture.

Which finish should I choose?

• Peel and Stick — self-adhesive backing. No paste and no water. Repositionable as you hang it and removable later, so it is the usual choice for renters and first-time installers.
• Pre-Pasted — the adhesive is already on the back and is activated with water. Nothing separate to buy or mix.
• Non-Pasted — you apply wallpaper paste to the wall yourself. The traditional method, and the one most decorators prefer for a permanent installation.
