– ABOUT THIS DESIGN –

 Portobello combines mature flowering trees with tall bamboo but maintains a light, open feel. The ground has a relatively plain style and pretty birds, and butterflies eschew the larger more ornate varieties employed in other designs, making this a versatile pattern. Bamboo was often employed in Chinese wallpapers because of its practical and spiritual importance, it is one of the four plants - along with plum blossom, orchids, and chrysanthemums - collectively referred to as the Four Noble Ones.
