CloseFolly in Wilde Dreams
Wilde Dreams was developed in collaboration with eminent fashion designer Harris Reed, affectionately named for evoking a certain Oscar Wilde-ness. Crimson flowers and meandering branches, with pops of pink, sing out against a backdrop of kingfisher blue moiré silk.
The distinctive rippling effect of moiré adds depth, texture, and intrigue—a finish historically sought after in high fashion and couture for its opulence.

Each painted panel begins its life as a length of raw silk which we size with a natural adhesive so that it receives paint without bleeding. We often brush the silk with iridescent pearl washes to add further lustre before backing with traditional rice paper. This forms the extraordinary canvas on which our artists work their magic.
Our artists are masters of traditional Chinese painting and work in teams to meticulously plan out each room before slowly building up the many layers of detail and colour. To achieve intensity and shade, the artist will blend hues, often using two brushes simultaneously.
