National Trust Papers
The Collection That Started It All
Seven historic designs spanning 200 years of British wallpaper, recreated from originals found across National Trust properties. This is where the National Trust partnership began, and it's still one of the best entry points into historic wallpaper and period-accurate wallpaper for anyone restoring or decorating an older home. Patterns range from an 18th-century Chinese-style peacock print to a Georgian stag trail, each redrawn from a real archival source rather than a modern reinterpretation. Heritage Home Supply carries the complete National Trust Papers I collection, giving Chicago clients direct access to authentic English wallpaper design with genuine architectural history behind it.
Achillea
Silhouetted yarrow flowerheads in an Art Nouveau style, from a border fragment at Felbrigg Hall. The flat, screen-printed color blocks give it a graphic, confident look on the wall. Available in five colorways, from moody dark grounds to soft dew tones.
Belton Scenic
A garden party mural of birds, butterflies, and bamboo, based on a hand-painted Chinese paper at Belton House. The original's odd perspective and charming details have been simplified to let the bamboo and birds take center stage. A striking option for a dining room or entry hall.
Clutterbuck
Named for James Clutterbuck, who acquired Newark Park, a Tudor hunting lodge in the Cotswolds, in the mid-1700s — though this two-tone leaf print dates to the early 1800s. The pattern was later matched to a wallpaper found in the clock tower at Hampton Court Palace. Five colorways range from soft contrast neutrals to bolder primary tones on off-white.
Hencroft
Stylised cowslips in a repeating stitched pattern, dating to 1890. Offered in eight colorways, it's one of the most flexible designs in the collection for matching an existing scheme. A good choice for a study, powder room, or accent wall.
Pavona
A vibrant peacock design with the painterly finish of Chinese silk, found at Erddig in Wales. Peacocks perched among flowers and leaves give it real presence on a feature wall. A statement pick for a dining room or primary bedroom.
Pomegranate
A lively Baroque paisley uncovered beneath tapestries at Erddig, one of the earliest finds in the collection. Block printed onto handmade paper originally, it's now available in four tonal colorways plus three more versatile options. Good for anyone wanting classic pattern with real historical weight behind it.
Stag Trail
A classic Georgian design from Greyfriars in Worcester, once wrapped in brown paper over fears the pigment contained arsenic. The scale has been reduced from the original for easier use in modern rooms. Available in four colorways, from a traditional interpretation to more contemporary tones.
