Wallpaper - Winning Westchester Cup

Our Winning Westchester Cup wallpaper brings a historic nineteenth-century racing moment into sharp focus. The design captures champion horse Tom Ochiltree and his jockey in full gallop at the 1877 Westchester Cup at Jerome Park, rendered in the detailed style of a vintage etching. Deep chocolate and warm brown line work stands against a soft neutral backdrop, highlighting the power, movement, and fine cross-hatching of the original sporting illustration. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure to fit your wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well in a dedicated home study, a private library, or a reading room where its nostalgic character feels completely at home. Because the motif centers on a single dynamic subject in full motion, we recommend placing it on a main wall where the horse and rider remain unobstructed by tall storage units. It performs beautifully behind a classic desk or set against a comfortable seating area, giving the room an immediate focal point without overwhelming surrounding walls. In spaces with warm, indirect lamplight, the brown and sepia tones gain extra warmth and depth.

Styling it

The etching-inspired character of this mural wallpaper pairs naturally with traditional English country elements and tailored heritage interiors. We would combine it with dark wood furniture such as stained walnut or mahogany desks, which echo the deeper chocolate lines of the print. To keep the focus on the illustration, balance the surrounding space with tailored upholstery in understated wool or heavy woven fabrics. Muted brass lighting and simple framed prints on adjacent painted walls help anchor the room's historic atmosphere without competing with the central mural.

Color combinations

The wallpaper is built around a classic palette of dark chocolate brown, warm sepia tones, and soft neutral parchment shades. For adjacent painted surfaces and baseboards, we suggest looking to warm stone, muted cream, or soft mushroom tones that pick up the background of the print. If you prefer a richer contrast, deep espresso or rich forest green on trim and built-in shelving will frame the mural and bring out the darker etching details.
