La popularización del papel pintado en España a lo largo del siglo XIX

Abstract

Throughout the 19th century the use of wallpaper as a decorative wall covering became widespread throughout Spain. The creation of a large number of factories specialised in this ornamental product and the incorporation of new technologies allowed a significant increase in production with the consequent reduction in price. At the same time, the emergence of a large number of small shops helped to popularise it. In this way, it adapted to the tastes and fashions of the moment, becoming an indispensable element in the interior decoration of homes.
