Little Greene Pavona Wallpaper - Blanche

This extravagant and vibrant peacock design is a beautiful example of late 19th-century wallpaper printing. Found on a hall wall in Erddig, Wales, it was hung in the 1870s and has the painterly finish of a traditional Chinese silk. Showing peacocks perched on branches, complemented by flowers, leaves and birds, the motif is typical of wallpapers and fabrics produced to satisfy the Western elite’s interest in Chinese design. Colored in eight vibrant ways, including elegant light and bolder dark motifs, and even a shimmering gold.
