Upper brook st wallpaper LITTLE GREENE - AZURA Blois

This design features brightly colored kniphofia flowers, commonly known as torch lilies or red pokers (of African origin but named after German horticulturist Johan Hieronymous Kniphof). They were recorded as having been hand-painted and glued to a pre-harnessed wallcovering in a late 18th century house in Upper Brook Street, as bespoke decoration. To replicate a natural scene behind the pokers, Little Greene adapted a pattern from her Stag toilet paper.
