Description
Considered to be one of Britain’s finest country houses, Erddig, just outside Wrexham in North Wales, is home to an abundant collection of wallpapers. Some still adorn the walls of the state rooms, but many more have been found as samples in tea-chests in the attic rooms. At the turn of the 20th century, they were collected by Philip and Louisa Yorke, who were recently married and committed to the redecoration of Erddig, their new family home. This pattern of scrolling foliage is unusual in its execution; the graded colour which gives life and depth to the leaves was, even in 1898, a contemporary evolution of the traditional, flat damask design.
Sold per roll.
‘National Trust Papers II’ is an eclectic collection of contemporary designs based on original patterns from the National Trust’s historic houses. It comprises of 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.
