In a vibrant hub of more than 190 block printing companies active during the 18th and 19th centuries, the son of a Cambridgeshire merchant began carving a name out for himself
Cole & Son’s founder, with discerning taste and innovative foresight starts to harness the power of industry to complement traditional woodblock printing methods prevalent at the time
This was a process imitating cut velvet originating in Holland in the late 17th century. It provided a more purse-friendly version of the wallhangings en vogue with the aristocracy
Perhaps Cole & Son’s founder’s most notable contribution to the wallpaper industry was the creation of a process to imitate silk.
Using a solution of ground mica, he was able to develop a lustre-like silk effect on the paper which is still used today
This includes some 2000 wooden wallpaper printing blocks acquired from neighbouring firms as they closed down over the course of the previous 60 years.
