Penglai fills the wall with birds among blossom-laden branches, each bird alert and characterful, the branches winding upward in the chinoiserie manner. The name comes from an ancient legend set in a garden, and the design carries that storybook quality, a wall you can wander through.
Printed in the United Kingdom, it is a pattern for rooms that welcome delight, a bedroom, a dressing room, a cloakroom where guests can study the birds at close quarters. It asks for simple companions, plain paintwork, unpatterned curtains, and repays them with a room that feels gently inhabited.
