The wallpaper from which this design is drawn, is most likely of British Edwardian origin, but stylistically is very representative of the era’s passion for oriental design, which retained a close connection to nature, simplicity and harmony.

Little Greene Wallpaper Beech Nut 0260BECORDO

An authentic, late Georgian design c.1782, this paper was uncovered at Oxburgh Hall in Norfolk. Originally used within a brightly-coloured, flocked, floral border, the leaf and nut element was block-printed in a rather more subdued grey colourway. This contemporary interpretation is unashamedly more colourful, using a similarly balanced colour palette alongside the signature, crafted texture
