Clutterbuck Puce

Built for a courtier of Henry VIII, Newark Park is a Tudor hunting lodge in the Cotswolds, where just a fragment of this small leaf design survives. The simple pattern featured two varying shades of green on a white satin background, creating the illusion of woven fabric and, interestingly, has been matched to a paper from the clock tower at Hampton Court Palace. The design derives its name from James Clutterbuck, who acquired Newark Park in the mid-18th Century, though this paper is early 19th Century in origin. Five contemporary colourways include softer contrasts and bolder primary shades on off-white, replicating the visual strength of the original design.
