Wallpaper - Winning Westchester Cup

Our Winning Westchester Cup wallpaper brings a historic sporting moment to life through a detailed nineteenth-century etching style. The design depicts champion horse Tom Ochiltree and his jockey in full gallop, commemorating their 1877 triumph at Jerome Park. Rendered in deep brown and dark chocolate tones set against a neutral backdrop, the composition focuses entirely on the powerful motion of the horse and rider. As with all Wallism wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to fit your wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We find this design works exceptionally well in rooms dedicated to quiet focus, reading, or conversation, such as a home study or library. Because the central motif carries strong narrative detail and horizontal movement, we would place this wall mural across a main wall where the full figure of the horse and rider can remain unobstructed. In a study, setting our mural wallpapers behind a writing desk or an open seating area gives the room an immediate focal point without overwhelming the rest of the space. The restrained dark chocolate and neutral palette also allows the wallpaper to sit comfortably in rooms with traditional architectural features, such as panelled walls or high ceilings.

Styling it

To complement the heritage character of this design, we suggest pairing it with classic interior elements that share its timeless feel. Darker wood furniture, such as mahogany, aged oak, or walnut, echoes the deep brown tones of the engraving and grounds the space naturally. For upholstery and seating, smooth leather or dense woven fabrics in rich tones work well alongside the sporting motif. We recommend keeping surrounding decorative items relatively minimal and classic, allowing the fine etching detail of the artwork to stand out as the primary visual interest in the room.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper is anchored by deep brown, dark chocolate, and warm neutral base tones. When decorating the surrounding space, we suggest pulling from these warm foundational shades. Muted off-whites, warm creams, and pale taupe on adjacent walls and woodwork will keep the room bright while maintaining a soft, natural transition. If you want to introduce deeper contrast, rich forest green, deep burgundy, or warm tobacco shades on joinery or soft furnishings will harmonise naturally with the dark chocolate linework.
