Wallpaper - Animal Bill of Sales I

Our Animal Bill of Sales I wallpaper brings vintage French ephemera into the home with the graphic charm of nineteenth-century trade typography. Created in collaboration with Wild Apple Portfolio, the design centres on an etched pig illustration framed by arched French lettering for "Charcuterie du Valois" and decorative calligraphy. Rendered in charcoal ink over a warm, aged cream parchment background with subtle antique staining, this mural wallpaper offers a distinctive graphic focal point. Like all our wallpapers, it is custom made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well in a kitchen or dining room, where culinary heritage feels right at home. The central horizontal composition and bold lettering make it an ideal feature wall behind a dining table or above a kitchen counter, giving the room a bistro-inspired character. Because the graphic elements and typography are grouped across the centre of the layout, we recommend placing it on an uninterrupted wall where the full French trade sign remains clearly visible without being bisected by large shelving units or high cabinets.

Styling it

The historic typography and etching style pair naturally with traditional and French country interiors. We would balance the graphic black lettering with warm, natural materials such as weathered timber dining furniture, terracotta floor tiles, or painted cabinetry in muted heritage tones. For lighting, warm-toned fixtures or vintage-style brass pendants help bring out the subtle depth in the aged paper backdrop during the evening.

Colour combinations

The palette is rooted in classic contrast, featuring deep charcoal black ink against a soft, aged cream and warm parchment background with earthy undertones. When choosing colours for surrounding walls and woodwork, we recommend continuing that warmth with creamy off-whites, warm stone, or muted earthy shades like olive green or soft ochre to maintain the vintage atmosphere.
