1950s Korean Vintage Wallpaper — Jeomsoon (original)

1: Jeomsoon belongs to the chintz lineage — the Indian printed cotton that upended European and Asian textile taste in the 17th century. Carried westward to France and Britain and eastward to Japan by the ships of the East India Companies, its characteristic small repeated floral motif eventually reached the Korean interior market through Japanese printing networks, compressed into the narrow format of a border wallpaper for the ondol room. The pattern also intersects with a native Korean tradition: the neunghwa-pan (能花板), the carved wooden printing blocks used in Korean bookbinding and decorative paperwork since the Joseon period. Both the Indian chintz and the Korean neunghwa-pan arrived at the same destination — a repeating floral unit pressed onto paper — through entirely separate routes. In the 1950s Korean border wallpaper, these two lineages quietly converge. GOSATE’s reproduction digitally restores the original pattern, printed on premium non-woven base paper manufactured in Sweden.   Roll size : 50cm by 10M Material : Non-woven paper Made in Sweden, Designed in Korea
