This jasmine-yellow, hand-painted wallpaper depicting many kinds of coloured birds was supplied in 1817 by Frederick Crace for the Saloon at the Royal Pavilion. It was described in the Crace ledgers as a ‘very fine set of India Paper, green ground, coloured flowers, birds, etc.’

The wallpaper can be seen as it was intended, set within a gold, cream and crimson chinoiserie decorative scheme in Augustus Charles Pugin’s (1762–1832) watercolour of the Saloon.
