‘National Trust Papers II’ is an eclectic collection of contemporary designs based on original historic patterns.
Comprising 42 colourways across seven designs, the collection is a celebration of enduring design, with the origins of these contemporary wallpapers spanning over 400 years of historic decoration.
Each wallpaper in the collection has been redrawn and recoloured, whilst respectfully acknowledging the traditional methods and materials from which they were originally crafted. Design elements are taken from Georgian and Victorian block-printed papers and also from older, decorative objects including a leather wall-hanging and a 15th century tapestry. The contemporary interpretation of each design makes this a truly timeless collection of papers for homes of all architectural styles.
Patterns include the delightful, trailing ‘Massingberd Blossom’, the playful and charming ‘Burges Snail’, authentic late Georgian ‘Beech Nut’, 'Mandalay’, a tree of life design taken from a leather wall hanging purchased by Rudyard Kipling, scrolling damask design ‘Tulip,’ small-scale print ‘Moy’ and delicate botanical ‘Millefleur’ inspired by a lovingly conserved tapestry.
