Step into a 1770s French salon with this exquisite wall design by Etienne de Lavallée-Poussin, a master of the Neoclassical style. The symmetrical layout features a dramatic central relief of a mythological figure wrestling a rearing horse, flanked by serene landscape panels where playful figures hold up elaborate candelabras. It’s a blueprint for pure elegance, proving that in the 18th century, even your walls needed to tell a story and show off your knowledge of ancient Rome!
