The Historic Panoramic Collection pays tribute to the great masters of wall décor of the 19th century, founding figures of the golden age of panoramic wallpaper.
Through the works of Joseph Dufour and Jules Desfossé, Isidore Leroy brings back to life monumental décors where travel, architecture, landscape, and imagination intertwine, transforming the wall into a truly immersive artwork.
These historic panoramas, meticulously restored and adapted to contemporary standards, invite contemplation and escape while preserving the soul and narrative power of the original creations.
A major figure in the history of wallpaper, Joseph Dufour marked the early 19th century with spectacular creations conceived as true narrative frescoes.
At a time when travel was rare, his décors offered bourgeois and aristocratic interiors an opening onto distant lands, mythical cities, and admired monuments.
A renowned 19th-century publisher and manufacturer, Jules Desfossé stood out for the finesse of his compositions and the richness of his panoramic landscapes.
His work reflects a more naturalistic approach, where precision of drawing and harmony of scenes enhance the illusion of depth and continuous wall scenery.
Today, Isidore Leroy perpetuates this heritage by reissuing these historic décors with a dual commitment:
Each panorama retains its narrative strength while integrating seamlessly into today’s interiors.
The Le Brésil décor immerses interiors in a lush, idealized landscape typical of the 19th-century imagination. Abundant vegetation, scenes of daily life, and distant horizons create a rich, detailed panorama that reflects a fascination with exoticism and discovery.
