Wallpaper - Animal Bill of Sales II

Drawing on antique French commercial ephemera, our Animal Bill of Sales II wallpaper mural brings a distinctive nineteenth-century graphic presence to the wall. Created in collaboration with Wild Apple Portfolio, the design features a vintage French butcher shop trade label, complete with an etching-style illustration of a cow, decorative flourishes, and heritage French typography against an aged, weathered parchment background. Rendered in earthy caramel, warm beige, and sepia tones, our wall murals are custom made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because of its bold, horizontal graphic layout and central typographic panel, we see this mural working exceptionally well as a focused accent wall. In a dining area or kitchen setting, placing this design along a main dining wall creates an atmospheric, vintage European focal point. It also makes an intriguing statement in an entryway, hallway, or home office where vintage prints and heritage styling feel at home.

The wide proportions of the motif look their best on a relatively uninterrupted wall, allowing the curved French header, the central butcher sign, and the delicate corner flourishes to be seen in full. Giving the design a little space around eye level ensures the fine etching lines and weathered paper texture remain clear and legible across the room.

Styling it

To complement the French country character of the design, we suggest pairing it with interior elements that share a grounded, authentic feel:

• Natural, warm wood furniture such as a rustic oak dining table or a vintage pine sideboard echoes the aged, caramel tones of the background.
• Simple ceramic tableware, antique stoneware, or muted linen napkins around the room reinforce the traditional market aesthetic.
• Understated architectural elements like painted wainscoting or classic tongue-and-groove panelling below the mural help anchor the graphic composition.

Colour combinations

Our design is built on a warm, earthy palette of caramel paper tones, antique cream, and deep charcoal-brown ink. When choosing paint colours for surrounding walls, trims, or cabinetry, we like pairing this wallpaper with warm off-whites, muted canvas tones, or soft plaster shades to keep the space open and light.

For a moodier, heritage-inspired scheme, pulling a deep charcoal, slate brown, or vintage espresso from the typography creates a rich, framing contrast on adjacent woodwork and baseboards.
