Since its founding in 1797, Zuber & Cie wallpapers’ fame has spread far and wide, from King Louis Philippe awarding Jean Zuber the Legion of Honor in 1834 to Jackie Kennedy installing Zuber’s “Vues de l'Amérique du Nord” in the White House. According to France Today, the company still uses the same antique woodblocks, the same paint formulas, and the same time-honored processes to create its stunning wallpapers as it did in Jean Zuber’s time.
Gorgeous displays of friezes, borders, ceiling roses and architectural trompe l’oeil, have been photographed for Zuber in homes in the United States, France, and the United Kingdom.

I inherited a two panel screen from my father in law and it was covered in very unusual early Toile de Jouy in bad condition. I decided to take it off, repair it, back it after washing then put it back on. Under the fabric was some gorgeous Zuber wallpaper in bad condition but I kept as much as possible to frame and use. Under that was another paper, it was almost archeology. The frame was in such bad shape in the end I didn't put it all back together but I kept it, maybe one day. I love this book, I bought it some months ago and have lent it to a couple of friends who have bought a lovely chateau an hour from me as they were thinking of decorating their dining room with murals. I suggested they hand paint them as the husband is an artist.
I think you should do all the walls in your dining room. Looks unfinished with just the accent wall~ you have lovely taste and doing the entire room would be lovely
Hi Mary, I have never heard of Zuber and found this video so interesting! I am struggling to find a word that actually describes how beautiful these wallpaper murals are!! Your dining room paper is also very elegant! I love it!! Thank you again for this book review and yes, I will join you in the next one! Have a wonderful day! Hugs! :)
That wallpaper MADE the room. Just gorgeous. Pretty mirror as well.
WOW !!!! You continue to blow me away with your content. I didn't know how wallcoverings such as this is made this was a real treat. I have two murals I have not yet put up. I bought them right at the wallpaper manufacturer company. They have beautiful color.. trees, flowers and birds. Thank you
Thank you, James. I would love to see the murals when you get them up.
Where can I get that book? The one she was flipping through? What’s it called?
@@juniorsir9521 there is a link in the description of the video and you can get the book this way, at a discount (new or used).
This is another, thoughtfully produced
video. I always enjoy your commentary on various design books. Thank you for your creativity and time! Wonderful!!!
Fascinating, I walk away from this having learned something whilst being enriched not only with knowledge but with a sense of appreciating the profound beauty of the efforts made to create these fine renderings
I love this, thank you!
Stunning! Your dining room is lovely!
Thank you!
Always loved Zuber wallpapers
I love the history as much as the beauty!
You inspired me to purchase the book. I was born & raised in Hawaii, my grandmother had wallpaper in her bathroom. Here we are in the middle of the Pacific (1950’s) & the paper designs were of colonial America. This theme seemed totally foreign but l too would make up stories about the various landscapes. Thank you as l build up courage to one day paper a wall or two or three…❣️
What a great memory! I hope you eventually do the wallpaper. I was shocked at how much it increased my enjoyment of the use of the dining room.
Gorgeous papers thanks for sharing
Beautiful!🤌🏼
Enchanting!
Best wallpaper. I used it when I decorated palaces in Riyadh in 1990 and 1991.
You mean … you actually decorated palaces 👏👏
What a great book. Your dining room looks lovely. I don't know if I could have exercised restraint because of the beauty of the paper. Enjoyed!
Very interesting, historical and beautiful!
I was always fascinated with Zuber. Great job! Thankyou 👏👏👏
That dining wall is gorgeous 😍. So awesome!!!!
Thank you for sharing this art and wallpaper with us .. your program brings so much excitement to my life. I just purchased the De Gournay book after your introduction to de Gournay .. thank you
Very beautiful and certainly also of historical value.
Thank you! Being a lover of murals I will fully enjoy that book, ordering it today.
Hope you enjoy it! I did.
I just love your video. Thank you for educating someone who never even thought of the artistry behind wallpaper. It's the first I hear of Zuber. Thank you!
Ruth you are sweet. I had never been introduced to it until design school in 1988, and then my professor, a fine southern lady, pronounced it "zoo-bar". So, I did too, for years. I'm so glad you commented!
Thank you ! This is such an amazing book review. Its the fist I hear of Zuber, but have unknowingly admired their work in other interiors. I look forward to your reviews they’re the highlight in my week and inspire me. I truly appreciate the time and effort you put into these reviews and your love for the books just comes across. Don’t Stop❣️
Thank you! That is such a kind thing to say, I truly appreciate it.
Love it especially the wall paper !!!!
Impressive. I have one of the cheapest murals out there, but it still brings a vibrancy to the room that just wouldn't happen with a solid paint color.
This was eye opening! Absolutely gorgeous wallpaper murals! Thank you!🥰
Thank you, I loved this book!
STUNNING... An extraordinary mini Documentary and Fabulous Book review in mere minutes! LOVED IT...
Childhood memories are always a Delight 🤗
I really loved this book!
Very nice 👍
Это самое лучшее покрытие для стен на мой взгляд!
1. Такие обои отлично замаскируют неровности стен!
2. Если вдруг вы случайно повредили такие обои, то их можно подкрасить подходящим цветом например фломастером и никто этого не заметит!
3. Самое главное, такие обои будет приводить в восторг не только вас и ни всех ваших гостей!
P.S. Спасибо большое за вашу работу!!! 💞👍💖
I’ll buy it, for sure! 🙏🌹
Wow! Learned so much from this video! I had no idea. Murals are my favorite but too expenses for my humble home but like anyway. Thanks for informing all your UTubers.
Hi Linda, there is a link in my video description on how to order from the company I bought my mural. It was very affordable, and the selections were great.
This was worth the wait 👏 I've never seen wallpapers so beautiful until now 😍, thank you for inspiration,love from Texas 😊❤💞
Great presentation.
I love all of your reviews. I can’t tell you how many books I’ve actually purchased now. I’m curious as to what manufacturer you used for your wallpaper in your dining room?
There is a link in the description on the video. It was a small company but a great and affordable one.
I also used a mural as wall paper once. Love Zuber.
Your dining room looks great with the one wall.
Thank you!
De toute beauté! Your dining room is stunning. Zuber wallpaper takes us back to another time. Thank you for another beautiful & informative vlog.
This process is so interesting......oh, to be an apprentice for a day.....I have been muddling the thought of wallpapering my foyer for some time....now the idea of a wallpaper mural sounds even better.....✌️💜💋
Your dining room looks so pretty. Love this book and will buy it today. Thank you!
Thank you, I hope you enjoy the book! I did.
Amazing video, absolutely beautiful. Your dining room is gorgeous, thx for sharing your personal space. Enjoy listening to your soothing voice too.
Just discovered your channel. After watching, ordered the book from Amazon. Will have it by Sunday. Can't wait.
I live near Benicia, Ca., home of Bradbury and Bradburry.
The book is great. I think you’ll enjoy it. Bradbury and Bradbury have great wallpapers, especially Art Nouveau (arts & crafts). Thanks for watching.
Some William Morris wallpaper is still hand blocked in England. Natchez, Mississippi has several antebellum homes with the original Zuber paper.
Natchez is a beautiful place. I’ve only been once but still dream of the beautiful homes we toured.
I once read that a man bought an old store that was lined in one of Zuber's murals. He dismantled the mural carefully and sold it for the same price he bought the store ! My house had Zuber paper in the main bedroom, it was plain graded blue from light at bottom to dark at top and the woodwork was painted to match. When the owner ( I rent ) asked the decorators to prepare the house of me they stripped off the wallpaper thinking that it had faded ! I wasn't too sad because I'm not a 'blue' person. When it happened I ordered the painters to stop doing anything to the house so I inherited an enormous 7 bedroom house that needs completely redecorating. I have four rooms done so far, one almost done and one started in my head. Three more bedrooms will follow and the large living room with ornate french doors that give onto an inner courtyard that I have done over in an Italian style. I am going to panel to three walls to mask the damp damage as the house had sat empty for many years. The fourth wall is panelled in 18 the century, it came from a local manor house 'renovated' in the 60's !
So interesting- lots of history!
Yikes. Now I want to do a wall in my dining room. I love wallpaper and so did my mother, we are from the UK originally so wallpaper easy to obtain.
Hi Mary, I love your Channel! What company did you get your dining room mural wallpaper through? I’m planning to do a mural in my dining room as well.
Thank you, I appreciate that. Here is a link to the mural I used.

I would like to get this book and some of the others. But how I can buy these books?
I have a link in the descriptions of most of my videos. They take you to options for buying new or slightly used at a great discount.
@@thetartantopiary Thank you for your response. I enjoy your channel a lot. 🥰
🥰
Wonder if Jacqueline Kennedy used this to paper the mural room she decorated in the White House.
Yes- she saved a mural (Scenic America by Zuber) from a home in Maryland that was being torn down. It was then installed in the White House. 💕
