Little Greene Wallpaper Millefleur 0260MFGARDE

The floral detail in this design is drawn directly from the oldest tapestry in the care of the National Trust. Residing at Montacute House in Somerset, the piece is woven from wool and silk and depicts a knight against backdrop of hundreds of tiny flowers on a dark background. It was made in the 15th century as part of a much larger set, and given by the city of Tournai, in Belgium, to Jean de Daillon, a French nobleman and Governor of Dauphine.
