Pineapple Garden Wallpaper by 1838 V&A Decorative Papers II Collection
Pineapple Garden is a striking feature wallpaper, radiating the same vibrant energy as the original archive silk design that inspired it. Joyful and uplifting, the pattern artfully blends bold graphic florals, swirling foliage, exotic pineapples, and geometric accents to create a captivating and unique visual effect.
Historically, the pineapple symbolized prestige among the Georgians and later came to represent hospitality and welcome—making this design particularly fitting for home interiors. The Cobalt colourway is especially bold and dramatic, making an immediate statement. For a cohesive look, pair with deep blue-painted woodwork.
Available in five colourways: the original Yellow, Verde, Apricot, Sage, and Cobalt.
The design draws from a 1707 woven silk pattern by James Leman (1688–1745), a Huguenot master weaver and designer based in Spitalfields, London. His work, featured in the Leman Album—one of the V&A’s most treasured textile archives—comprises 97 hand-painted silk designs, the earliest dated examples in Europe.
