1800s
Behind a framed glass panel in the drawing room at Grefsheim is a wallpaper that once covered the walls of the room.
The pattern is anything but modest. Between Gothic arches, columns and spires, small figures stand in niches, surrounded by ornament that could have come from a medieval cathedral. This is how the 1800s liked to reimagine the Gothic.
The wallpaper is pasted directly onto the wooden panelling, with no trace of older paper beneath. This suggests it may have been the room's first wallpaper, perhaps from the early furnishing of the main house.
Later, new wallpapers were added. The old one lay hidden beneath the next layers until it came to light again.
Today a section is kept visible on the wall.
