WALLPAPERS Balance Portland Stone 0231BAPORTL

Four framed motifs make up this design, each originally the subject of a small set of wooden balancing games located at Greys Court in Oxfordshire. In the sets, a steady hand is required to locate the tiny metal ball bearings in the holes, and although the balls themselves have been omitted from the design, the locations of the holes have been retained in reference to their origin. Another peculiarity is the inverted rainbow colour spectrum: it would correctly show red on the outside and blue (or violet) on the inside, but this is another original detail retained in the wallpaper pattern.
