Baracé

Five historic designs uncovered at Château de Purnon have been reinterpreted by Farrow & Ball to form The Purnon Papers - a collection that captures the grace and grandeur of the French château at its most vibrant. Each pattern has been carefully reimagined in five elegant colourways to suit both traditional and modern interiors. Every roll is crafted by hand using time-honoured printing methods, fine paper, and richly pigmented Farrow & Ball paint.

This design was uncovered in the château’s attic, though it originally adorned the bed of Madame de la Motte Baracé’s mother. From this timeworn fragment, the Creative Director of Farrow & Ball reinterpreted the motif into a bold yet refined pattern - a contemporary revival of its 18th-century elegance.
