Preserving historic wallpaper ranges from careful cleaning and inpainting to partial restoration and full recreation based on archival research. EverGreene combines material investigation & analysis, technical expertise, and craftsmanship to preserve or recreate wallcoverings with fidelity to their original design, materials, and methods. From hand-blocked patterns to scenic murals, we ensure each intervention honors the original artistry while meeting contemporary performance standards. Our approaches often include:
- Forensic investigation through exposure windows to identify original and post-historic wallpaper layers
- Analysis of wallpaper fragments to reconstruct patterns and original color schemes
- Surface cleaning, stabilization, and inpainting of damaged areas
- Custom recreation through digital reproduction or hand screening
- Precise color matching with custom-tinted paints formulated to replicate historic finishes
With decades of specialized experience, EverGreene brings together in-house designers, conservators, and artisans committed to the highest standards of historic accuracy and craftsmanship. Our rigorous approach delivers wallcoverings that are visually authentic, materially sound, and designed to preserve the character of historic interiors for generations.
