collection

This captivating collection, created in collaboration with The Met, draws on artworks and objects from across eight of The Met’s 17 curatorial departments to create a rich mosaic of historical narratives. Each design is a celebration of artisanship, inspired by exquisite forms and cultural traditions. Following our first collaboration with The Met in the 1970s, we bring museum magic into the home once again in homage to history and the grand beauty of art.

Arms & Armor

The Met’s Department of Arms and Armor collects, preserves, researches, publishes, and exhibits distinguished examples representing the art of the armorer, swordsmith, and gunmaker. Arms and armor have been a vital part of virtually all cultures for thousands of years, pivotal not only in conquest and defense, but also in court pageantry and ceremonial events. Throughout time the best armor and weapons have represented the highest artistic and technical capabilities of the society and period in which they were made, forming a unique aspect of both art history and material culture. It is one of the most comprehensive and encyclopedic collections of its kind.

Our Knight Wallcovering is inspired by armor with northern Italian features characteristic of Milanese or Brescian workmanship. This especially thick type was made for protection against firearms, which were becoming increasingly popular and efficient weapons. Weighing over 86 pounds, it’s one of the heaviest known examples of field armor. Before armor of this kind was completed, it was fired at with a pistol or musket to test its effectiveness against bullets, and the bullet dents were left to showcase its strength and quality.

Uniquely handmade with polymer, this wallcovering is incredibly dimensional and adds texture and shine to any room it is featured in.
