Les Allées de Marly captures the splendour of the royal gardens through a pattern drawn from the celebrated Albums de Marly, those exquisite seventeenth-century records preserved within the French National Archives. This expansive design faithfully interprets the bird's-eye perspectives and meticulous architectural renderings that documented the château's grand avenues and carefully composed groves during Louis XIV's reign. Printed on matte non-woven backing, the wallpaper honours the painterly precision of the original watercolours, Indian ink and gouache work, preserving the visual elegance of a vanished estate that stood as the king's intimate retreat before its demolition in 1811.
