Piccadilly Wallpaper by Little Greene

Less is known about this paper than its comparable partner ‘Soho Square’ (see London Wallpapers), but there are obvious similarities. The archive document of this pattern is a ‘mock flock’, meaning it was designed to carry the appearance of a more expensive flock paper but the effect is achieved through print rather than texture.

Sold per roll. 

Little Greene has scoured the archives of both London and Paris to source its latest heritage wallpaper collection, the aptly named ‘Révolution Papers’. The title of this range refers not to the storming of the Bastille in 1789, but to the groundbreaking advances in the production and distribution of wallpapers in the ensuing industrial period. ‘Révolution Papers’ comprises seven designs that typify the period: traditional damask and delicate toile patterns, a sophisticated (and sometimes surprising) treatment of colour and a beautiful surface quality only achieved by traditional block-printing.
