Wallflowers By Rebecca Sherman. Photography Dylan Thomas. D e Gournay's new chinoiserie wallpapers are a lavish re-creation of the antique hand- painted wallpapers in one of England's most revered properties, Belvoir Castle. They include Wellington, a garden scene of exotic birds and peonies in berry tones on a pistachio ground, and Belvoir, an apricot-and-blue design based on an antique paper discovered in the castle's archives.
