What Is Bradbury & Bradbury?

Bradbury & Bradbury is a specialty design company best known for historically inspired wallpaper. Its collections cover Victorian, Arts & Crafts, Art Deco, and vintage 1920s–1960s designs, and the site also sells art posters, textiles, lace curtains, and rugs. The wallpaper is described as eco friendly and easy to install. If you are restoring an old house, recreating a period interior, or looking for pattern styles that mainstream wallpaper brands rarely carry, this is the kind of source to check.

What the site offers

The catalog is organized by era and design family rather than by generic room categories.

• Victorian wallpaper — including named patterns such as B.J. Talbert, Brooklyn, Deer & Rabbit, English Rose, Herter, Iris & Kingfisher, Italianate, Jeffrey, Knightsbridge, Morris, Tradition, Pardee, Persian, Raspberry Bramble, and St. James. This group also includes Victorian wall fills, ceiling elements, friezes, and sample kits.
• Arts & Crafts — wall fills and friezes, with colorways such as Natural and Forest Green.
• Art Deco — damasks.
• Vintage wallpapers — sorted by decade: 1920s, 1930s, 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s, plus vintage children's designs and vintage wall fills.
• Beyond wallpaper — art posters (for example Birchwood Rookwood, Birchwood Twilight, Colinas De Oro, Dreamer, Eventide, Garden, Gothic Squirrel, Idylwild, Lands End, Lilies of the Field, Lion & Dove, Moonscape, Redwood, River, Topiary, and Tulip), Art Deco fabric, lace curtains, and a hand-knotted rug collection.

Who it is for

The strongest fit is anyone working with a period-appropriate interior:

• Restoring a Victorian, Craftsman, or Art Deco home and needing patterns that match the era.
• Recreating a 1920s–1960s look in a single room.
• Designers and trade buyers sourcing historically grounded patterns — the site references a Trade Program application.
• Anyone who wants a coordinated scheme, since the same design language extends into friezes, ceiling elements, fabrics, curtains, and rugs.

If you only need a plain modern wallpaper, the historical focus here is more niche than you need.

Practical notes before you buy

• Samples exist. Victorian Sample Kits are listed, which matters because period patterns and colorways are hard to judge from a screen.
• Check the pattern type. Wall fills, friezes, and ceiling elements are separate products designed to work together, so plan the full wall composition rather than ordering one roll.
• Installation. The site describes the wallpaper as easy to install, but period patterns with repeat matching still reward careful measuring.
• Pricing and account details are not specified in the available site information, so confirm current prices, shipping, and any trade terms directly on the site.
