A rich blue-green paint shade from the National Trust archives.
A highlight of Claydon House in Buckinghamshire, the Chinese Room is widely considered to be the finest surviving example of Chinoiserie in Britain.
Eighteenth-century travel and international trade had given rise to an obsession with Asia and inspired the popular new ritual of tea drinking.
Generations of Verneys used the Chinese Room as a private sitting room, and for taking tea with visitors, including Florence Nightingale, sister of 19th-century owner Lady Verney.
Florence became a regular visitor, eventually occupying several of her own rooms at Claydon where she developed her important work in nursing.
Consider pairing this historical blue-green shade with a contrasting accent like Bassoon, to make a statement in your home.
Alternatively, use Tea with Florence alongside Harley Green or Celestial Blue for a harmonious scheme.
