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.
A rare and very early find, this Baroque design was uncovered by the National Trust, hiding beneath wall-hung tapestries at Erddig in Wales. Block-printed onto handmade paper panels, which would have been nailed directly to the wall (rather than glued), their removal revealed the earliest verified tax-stamp on the reverse. The colourful yellow original has been pared down for one of four tonal colourways. A further three colourways bring versatility to the modern use of this lively paisley design.
Complementing paint colours include:
Whitening (41), Stone-Mid-Cool (66), Boxington (84), Pale Wedgewood (249), Juniper Ash (115), Hicks’ Blue (208), Ulla (290), Boringdon Green (295), Sage Green (80), First Light (49), Carys (148), Edith’s Eye (301), Wood Ash (229), Inox (224), Urbane Grey (225), Down (242), Dash of Soot (244), Mid Lead Colour (114), Portland Stone (77), Portland Stone Dark (157), Lamp Black (228)
