Zuber: Much More than Wallpaper
No doubt the name "Zuber" conjures up images of rooms graciously- and often plentifully- papered in exquisite scenic wallcoverings. One of the world's most storied wallpaper makers, Zuber is known for such hand-blocked papers as L'Hindoustan, L'Eldorado, and Les Vues d'Amerique du Nord, which Jacqueline Kennedy notably had installed in the Diplomatic Reception Room at the White House. But did you know that Zuber offers more than scenic papers?
If you need an inducement to hand-write your notes, then perhaps Zuber stationery might tempt you into penning your correspondence. Speaking of temptation, Zuber also purveys silk scarves, whose miniature scenes will add a dash of the exotic to your wardrobe. Zuber even sells embroidered pillows, whose designs might echo the firm's scenic papers but, thanks to their subtle colors and embroidery, won't compete with them. Did I mention that all of these accessories are made in France?
Any of the above would make impressive Christmas presents, because who wouldn't want to open a package from Zuber on Christmas morning. For more information or to place orders, you should contact the Zuber showroom (4 W. 19th St., New York, NY) at (212) 486-9226 or email inquiries to usa@zuber.fr.

Zuber is la crème de la crème of papers, and it is nice to see that they are offering other decorative items as well. I hadn't realized that their showroom is now on West 19th St. Thanks for sharing.
