The reproduction of the Blue Chintz wallpaper from the Admiral’s bathroom required several consultations with the client. Extensive research and design mapping were undertaken using the available photographic documentation, which formed the primary source for reconstructing the pattern. As not all sections of the original wallpaper were visible in the photographs supplied, it was agreed that the new design would be an interpretation rather than a strict facsimile.

The facsimile reproduction was hand illustrated and to address areas where information was missing, a personalised element was introduced: the client selected a small number of favourite flowers to be incorporated into the reconstructed motif. For this reason, roses were added to the design, ensuring that the final composition remained faithful to the historic aesthetic. The colour palette was selected entirely by the client, who wished to create a version of the Blue Chintz wallpaper that felt both historically sympathetic and personally meaningful.
