Wallpaper - Quadriga Up Close

Our Quadriga Up Close wallpaper brings the sculptural power and grandeur of classical architecture directly into your interior. Photographed by Jan Becke, the composition focuses tightly on the bronze four-horse chariot led by a robed charioteer holding an eagle-topped staff and laurel wreath. The weathered bronze sculpture and classical reliefs on the stone base contrast against an open sky with soft clouds, creating an architectural statement with depth and historic character. Like all our wall murals, it is made-to-measure to your dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because of the strong upward perspective and monumental scale of the sculpture, we see this working particularly well in a home study, library, or quiet reading room. Giving the mural wallpapers a wider, relatively uninterrupted wall allows the full movement of the four horses and the classical relief details along the base to be appreciated without being broken up by tall furniture. In a study or home office, placing this along the wall behind a desk creates a focused, stately backdrop. The clear blue sky in the upper portion also brings an open, airy feeling to rooms with standard ceiling heights.

Styling it

The classical character and strong bronze tones call for interior elements that match its visual weight without competing for attention:

• Darker wood or warm timber furniture, such as a substantial writing desk or classic open bookshelves, anchors the historic theme naturally.
• Clean-lined modern seating creates an appealing contrast against the ornate classical sculpture, keeping the overall room feeling contemporary rather than overly traditional.
• Matte black metal accents or quiet brass hardware echo the dark sculpted lines of the chariot and relief carvings without overwhelming the space.

Colour combinations

Our design is built around the deep patinated bronze, muted stone greys, and earthy mineral tones of the sculpture, balanced by vibrant sky blue and soft cloud white. When painting surrounding walls, we suggest pulling from the cooler off-white and light stone tones to let the sculptural mural remain the visual focus. For woodwork, shelving, or accent furniture, deeper charcoal, muted slate, or rich dark chocolate brown pick up the shaded contours of the horses and the carved architectural base.
