This paper, a revision of an authentic 19th Century French damask, was found more recently as a painted piece of artwork in a Parisian studio. It is a common misconception that colours used in historic decoration were exclusively drab; the rich shades, layering and gradation of colour reproduced here are completely faithful to the original papers, yet exhibit a very contemporary feel.

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.
