"A shy and hidden bird is warbling a song." — Walt Whitman
First printed in 1850 by Oliver Sage in New England, this pattern carries the quiet character of that origin. A restrained, repeat design — the kind that settles into a room rather than dominating it.
Printed by hand using carved pearwood blocks pressed into distemper paint made from chalk, hide glue, and non-toxic pigments. Background colour painted first by brush, block colours built up layer by layer on top. The result is a matte, velvety surface with the subtle irregularity that only hand printing produces.
A natural fit for a bedroom, a study, or a hallway — anywhere that benefits from something considered rather than loud.
This sample is a real piece of the wallpaper, printed in the same technique and the same distemper as a full project. 26 × 25 cm. Full wallpaper from €60/m², printed to order in any colour from our pigment palette.
