We love The Little Greene Wallpaper range; the stories, history and provenance behind the designs are fascinating. The designs themselves are truly stunning and will make a real design statement in any room.
‘National Trust Papers’ is an eclectic collection of contemporary wallpapers based on original designs from the National Trust’s property portfolio. Comprising 40 colourways over seven designs, the collection represents 200 years of timeless pattern, from the early 18th to the early 20th century. Each wallpaper has been recreated from originals in National Trust properties nationwide, including papers still adorning ancient walls, fragments conserved in archive drawers and even preserved rolls found in the back of an attic.
This flamboyant, vibrant peacock design is a beautiful example of late-19th century wallpaper printing. Found on a lobby wall at Erddig in Wales, it was hung in the 1870s, and has the painterly finish of a traditional Chinese silk. Showing peacocks perched on branches, accessorised by flowers, leaves and birds, the subject is typical of wallpapers and fabrics produced to satisfy the western elite’s interest in Chinese design. Coloured in eight vibrant ways including elegant pale and bolder dark grounds, and even a shimmering gold.
Complementing paint colours include:
Flint (236), Confetti (274), Pall Mall (309), Stone-Mid-Cool (66), Urbane Grey (225), Boxington (84), Clay Mid (153), Tuscan Red (140), Sir Lutyens’ Sage (302), Slaked Lime Dark (151), Boringdon Green (295), Lamp Black (228), Shallows (223), Boringdon Green (295), Rolling Fog Dark (160), French Grey Pale (161), Celestial Blue (101), Sir Lutyens’ Sage (302), Carmine (189), Air Force Blue (260), Royal Navy (257), Pall Mall (309), Smalt (255), Pleat (280)
