Our Hampstead mural highlights the custom capabilities of our studio. Designed for Hampstead, an important classical revival-style house on a hill in New Kent County, Virginia, this piece is part of the WILLIAMSBURG Collection and released as a printed reproduction by The Mural Source. Inspired by engraved views of Dalmatia and Istria in rare books in the Colonial Williamsburg collection, the design pays tribute to early 19th-century classical interiors with scenes of Roman and Mediterranean ruins, boats, coastal cities, trees, and figures.
Hampstead is owned by the Tidewater and Big Bend Foundation which John Poindexter created and funded in 2020 for the purposes of land conservation and historical preservation. This significant historic house is being restored and furnished to its 1820s to 1840s period.
The inaugural WILLIAMSBURG Mural Collection by Paul Montgomery re-envisions the rich design archive of Colonial Williamsburg, the world's largest living history museum, within a modern sensibility. Sales of WILLIAMSBURG products support Colonial Williamsburg's missions of education, preservation, and engaged citizenship.
