Devil’s in the Details: The history and mystery of the Gore Place wallcoverings

Do you love design details and perhaps a little mystery? Take a tour of the mansion and learn about the history of our wallcoverings plus the challenges involved in antique wallpaper reproduction. We’ll examine Gore Place’s original “painted papers” as well as some of the vibrant wallpapers that have been removed and preserved in our collections room. We’ll discuss the poisons that made antique wallpaper so vivid, view photographs of the mansion at the turn of the 20th century and explore the curious origins of our Devil’s Wallpaper.
