About Us

Richard E. Thibaut, aged 29, opens Thibaut’s doors on New York City’s Madison Avenue the same year the Statue of Liberty first graced the New York harbor. The founder's mission was to provide “the choicest colorings and designs, which unsurpassed any line of wallpapers offered." Today, the brand remains the oldest wallpaper company in the United States.

Richard E. Thibaut and his staff opened the brand’s first retail storefront in New York City, located at 23 Great Jones St., the same year Coca-Cola’s secret formula was bought by its future founder in Atlanta, GA.

Prior to the invention of the delivery truck, Thibaut delivered wallpaper by horse and buggy.

Thibaut, featured in House & Garden's “The Beauty of Thibaut Wallpaper,” provided a small antidote to the woes of the Great Depression.

Thibaut murals gain immense popularity in American homes. Ships Haven, Memory Lane, and Magnolia Hill are among the most recognizable. President Lyndon B. Johnson addressed the nation on TV from his Texas ranch, with Memory Lane on the wall behind him.
