Founded in 1986, the London-based brand now has showrooms all over the world. They offer fabrics, furniture, plates, and custom design services, but De Gournay’s true specialty is luxury hand-painted wallpapers in Chinoiserie patterns. Owner Claud Cecil Gurney seeks out painters who have been in the business for generations, and the wallpapers are indisputably the best in this increasingly rare trade.
