This stunning wallpaper at the Commandant’s House in Port Arthur is a reproduction of the original 1845 design. I loved the symmetrical, three-dimensional effect, which appears like finely carved timber. It adds a stately atmosphere to this beautiful house and the warm colours make for a more cosy environment. When standing here, it’s easy to see how important these homely touches would have been when living in this remote corner of the world.
We have carefully sealed the front and back of the image to ensure that it is water resistant. It will be OK if you get caught in the rain, but please avoid submerging it when swimming or bathing. Regular cleaning with a silver cloth will keep the ear-wires nice and shiny.
