Volières c.1950

Poppy Trail c.1890-1900
Wallpaper: Poppy Trail – Masquerade, Ceiling: Masquerade, Panelling and Chair Rail: Yellow-Pink
This flamboyant floral design featuring large, stylised poppies is a classic example of those in production during the late 19th century.
Although the designer is unknown, it is thought that it may have been the work of Arthur L. Gwatkin who produced papers of a very similar feel.

Available in five tonal colourways, each with statement grounds.
Briar Rose c.1845-1915
Wallpaper: Briar Rose – Green Verditer, Ceiling and Baseboard: Mid Azure Green, Fireplace: Green Verditer, Window Frame: Whitening
Wallpaper: Briar Rose – Green Stone, Ceiling, Wall and Upper Panelling: Green Stone - Pale, Lower Panelling, Chair Rail and Baseboard: Green Stone - Light, Kitchen Units: Book Room Green
Characterised as being in the ‘Arts and Crafts’ style, evident in the densely stylised natural motifs, this wallpaper was originally designed by children’s book illustrator, Walter Crane. Many of Crane’s drawings became nursery wallpapers and ‘Briar Rose’ began its life as the background to a wallpaper called ‘The Sleeping Beauty’, which featured characters from Sleeping Beauty among the roses.

The paper was originally produced by the London firm Jeffrey & Co. and has been reproduced today in three gentle combinations and three vibrant colourways.
Upper Brook St. c.1920
Wallpaper: Upper Brook Street – Soleil, Door: Pale Lime, Baseboard: Puck
This design features brightly coloured kniphofia flowers, commonly known as torch lilies or red-hot pokers (African in origin but named after German horticulturalist Johan Hieronymous Kniphof). They were recorded as having been hand-painted and stuck over a pre-hung wall covering in a late 18th-century Upper Brook Street house as a bespoke decoration.

Lovers’ Toile c.1950
Wallpaper: Lovers' Toile – Puck, Ceiling, Woodwork and Chair Rail: Puck
This contemporary take on a classic pattern is a post WWII reinterpretation of an 18th-century French Toile de Jouy design. Featuring vignettes of people in activity including fishing, dancing and gardening, this single colour design has been printed in five modern colourways.

Reflective of colour drenching, two of the colourways feature the same colours in different tones.
Dahlia Scroll c.1890-1900
Wallpaper: Dahlia Scroll – Giallo, Ceiling, Window Frame, Arch and Baseboard: Silent White - Pale, Crown Molding: Slaked Lime - Dark
A scrolling floral design reminiscent of the early work of Voysey. This two-toned wallpaper features an enlarged Dahlia, a motif typically found in Japanese design, whilst the sinuous plant forms based on a single flower are also characteristic of Art Nouveau.

Coloured in seven different ways, including elegant neutrals, bold blue and vibrant yellow, this pattern would have originally been block printed, possibly by Jeffrey & Co.
Hoja c.1890-1900
Wallpaper: Hoja – Air Force Blue, Ceiling and Cupboard: Shirting, Chair Rail & Baseboard: Air Force Blue
This classic pattern featuring scrolling foliage has been surface printed to achieve a traditional, painterly finish. Although the design features elements from 17th century Spanish embossed and gilded leather, it is actually thought to have been of late 19th century origin due to its print substrate being machine printed paper.
Request samples
Created in six interesting colourways, four of which have tonal variation based around a single colour.
