Burges Butterfly Wallpaper by Little Greene

Adorning the walls of the Boudoir at Knightshayes Court in Devon, ‘Burges Butterfly’ was designed by Gothic Revival architect and designer William Burges (1827-1881) and is an obvious relation to another wallpaper of the same origin, ‘Burges Snail’. Just like the Snail, the design has no deeper historic association with Knightshayes Court, Burges’s only complete country house, but is another Burges pattern, influenced by his passion for the architecture and art of medieval Europe and Asian-influenced design.

This fun, charming paper has been faithfully reproduced in five contemporary, surface-printed colourways.

Sold per roll.

National Trust Papers IV features eight historic wallpaper designs that have been adapted and recoloured across 42 colourways for use within the modern home. Each design has been created for original patterns found at several of the National Trust’s historic houses, with the addition of one design that has been recoloured and revived from the Little Greene archive. This versatile and eclectic collection comprises an array of exotic birds, stylised florals and scrolling trails alongside ditsy print florals and large-scale tropical murals.
