Nina Campbell | Baville

Baville is a large-scale composition of Indian flowers, named after a seventeenth-century chateau. The scale is the point, blooms drawn generously so the pattern reads as a whole garden across the wall rather than a repeating sprig, while the textured base paper gives the surface a soft, matt depth that flat paper would miss.

It is made in the United Kingdom on a 130 gram paper. A floral of this size wants wall space, so it belongs in rooms that can give it a proper run, a drawing room, a principal bedroom, a dining room, and it is equally persuasive on a single wall where the composition can hang like a panel. Furnishings in plain cloths let the drawing do the work.
