Wallpaper - Caesar on Aged Paper

Our Caesar on Aged Paper wallpaper brings Avery Tillmon's graphite horse study into the home on a grand, contemplative scale. What we particularly appreciate about this design is the delicate balance between the detailed line work of the horse's face and the warm, weathered character of the light ecru background. The sketch captures fine shading and quiet strength, giving the motif the timeless appearance of a nineteenth-century study drawn directly onto antique paper. Printed made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper, this wallpaper brings an artistic presence to an accent wall without overwhelming the room.

In the room

Because the motif centres on a single, expressive portrait, we find this design works best on an uninterrupted wall where the full drawing has space to breathe. It feels right at home in a dedicated study or home library, placed behind a reading desk or flanking open bookshelves. In a quiet art studio or study nook, the aged paper backdrop adds visual warmth across the wall, making the room feel established and grounded. If you are decorating a larger living area, positioning our wall murals along a focal wall keeps the artwork as the main visual anchor while allowing the surrounding space to remain calm.

Styling it

To complement the classical heritage feel of the sketch, we suggest pairing this wallpaper with furniture that carries a sense of craftsmanship. Darker timber pieces, such as antique walnut or deep oak, sit naturally alongside the warm ecru tones of the background paper. Keeping surrounding furniture lines relatively simple allows the fine pencil detailing of the horse portrait to remain the primary focus. For decorative accents, subtle aged brass or patinated metal hardware echoes the nineteenth-century drawing aesthetic without competing with the wall mural.

Colour combinations

The artwork is built around soft graphite grey, warm charcoal, and a base of light beige and ecru that suggests vintage parchment. When choosing colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, or larger textiles, we like pulling from these muted undertones. Soft off-whites, warm stone, and gentle mushroom grey create a seamless transition on adjacent walls. If you want to introduce deeper contrast, rich charcoal, deep brown, or subdued forest tones on painted cabinetry or trim work nicely against the lighter background of the drawing.
