Some rather stunning stencilling on the walls of Alexander 'Greek' Thomson's 1850s Holmwood House on the Southside of Glasgow. If I remember correctly, this was part of the design by Thomson himself uncovered during restoration work. This involved carefully scraping off the layers of paint and wall paper which had been added to the interior over the century and a half or so since it was constructed to reveal as much of the original details as possible.
