Wallpaper - Winning Westchester Cup

Our Winning Westchester Cup wallpaper brings a historic sporting moment from 1877 to life with the detailed character of a vintage etching. The artwork captures jockey and champion horse Tom Ochiltree in full gallop at the Westchester Cup, muscles tensed and tail flowing as they race across Jerome Park. Drawn with brown and dark chocolate tones against a warm neutral ground, the motif creates an evocative equestrian statement with a strong sense of nostalgic heritage. Made to measure according to your wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our design gives classic sporting art an expansive architectural presence.

In the room

We see this design working especially well in a study, home library, or living room where you want to introduce narrative depth and heritage character. Because the composition focuses on the powerful forward motion of horse and rider, it benefits from being placed on an uninterrupted wall where the full horizontal energy of the gallop has space to unfold. In a study behind a desk or across a main sitting room wall, the monochromatic dark chocolate line work anchors the room without feeling overwhelming. The balanced contrast between the detailed drawing and the open neutral backdrop means the wallpaper also holds its own in rooms with lower evening lighting, where the dark line work remains distinct and expressive.

Styling it

To complement the 19th-century etching style, we recommend pairing this wallpaper with rich materials and classic silhouettes that echo its equestrian heritage.

• Furnish with warm wood tones such as aged walnut or dark oak, which naturally reflect the deep brown line work in the drawing.
• Incorporate tactile leather seating or tailored wool upholstery to enhance the traditional English country feel of the space.
• Keep surrounding accessories quiet and purposeful, opting for muted brass accents or framed architectural sketches that allow the motion of the race to serve as the main focal point.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper relies on deep brown and dark chocolate tones set against soft, aged neutral paper hues. For adjacent painted walls, trim, or built-in joinery, warm off-white, taupe, or soft bone tones keep the overall look cohesive and calm. If you prefer deeper contrast, rich chocolate brown or muted olive on surrounding woodwork helps ground the space and draws out the darker lines of the etching.
