Little Greene Wallpaper Tulip 0260TUCLOUD

This pattern of scrolling foliage is unusual in its execution; the graded colour which gives life and depth to the leaves was, even when it was designed in 1898, a contemporary evolution of the traditional, flat damask design. Taken from one of Britain’s finest country houses, Erddig, in North Wales, which is home to an abundant collection of wallpapers. Some still adorn the walls of the state rooms, but many more have been found as samples in tea-chests in the attic rooms.
