Part of our prestigious collaborative Castle Howard Indienne Collection, Goose is an iconic design heavily influenced by the Japanese Chinese export idea so prevalent in the nineteenth century. The original Japanese tissue paper is made up of individual panels with a pattern of black geese flying amongst white lilies on blue ground and can be found adorning the walls of the Archbishop's Bedroom in Castle Howard as chosen by Rosalind, the ninth Countess of Carlisle in 1884.
Now re-created with exceptional care to ensure they feel as true to the original fragments as possible, Goose is available in Blue, as well as Mustard and amazing Aperol. Whilst rooted in tradition, Goose could of course be used to equally striking effect in a glamorous London club - it is as sophisticated today as it was in 1884.

Bringing together traditional methods, an archive of historical designs, and a range of contemporary colours, our hand-blocked wallpapers are a sumptuous statement for any room.
We use the original handmade pear wood blocks and rollers to produce our papers the traditional way. We have a wide range of designs with a variety of scales and styles, along with the skilled ability to produce rolls in any colour to transform the distinctive into the truly unique.
When our designs were first drawn for the block makers in Watts’ early years they would have been coloured specifically for each job. Today we can offer a wide range of colours but we take great care to use a palette that is true to our design roots.
Using traditional materials helps as part of today’s drive to create sustainable buildings but best of all it ensures that the printed surface avoids the plastic monotony of alkyd and acrylic paints.
