Little Greene Massingberd Blossom Wallpaper - Grey

Massingberd Blossom' (Gunby Hall) c.1905 The wallpaper from which this design is drawn is probably of British Edwardian origin, but stylistically it is very representative of the period's passion for oriental design, which - in an age of pre-modern artistic sensibility - was seen as maintaining a close connection with nature, simplicity and harmony. The repeated flowers and birds are elements commonly found in early hand-painted chinoiserie, and the use of traditional surface printing maintains a tactile quality that offers more subtly to the discerning eye than conventionally mass-produced paper. It previously adorned the walls of the Grey Room at Gunby Hall in Lincolnshire, a grand country house built some 200 years earlier for the MP William Massingberd, which was bequeathed to the National Trust in 1944.
