In the late 18th Century, Erddig in Wales was the family home of Philip Yorke and his wife Elizabeth. They would have selected this handpainted Chinese wallpaper, lavishly decorated with exquisite birds and flowers, for guests staying in the property’s State Bedroom. The original painting was delicate and keenly observed, with birds appearing in pairs; a subtle nod to the Chinese concept of the interconnectivity of opposites (yin and yang). The flowers seen here include magnolia (symbolising feminine beauty) and peony (symbolising eminence). Elements have been taken from the original to create a versatile and contemporary bird and floral trail, in five glorious colourways.
