Wallpaper from the "Grey Room" of the "Segerhof

Description

The wallpaper made in England gives the room both its name and its special character. Between the marbled fields, which give the wallpaper the appearance of a marble wall, are black-ground medallions with allegories of war and peace, as well as scenes from ancient mythology. Such allusions to ancient figures and symbols are quite typical for home furnishings of the time.
