The Pied Heron is found in coastal and subcoastal areas of monsoonal northern Australia. It is perched on a 19th Century giltwood bamboo-form Chinoiserie plant stand.
The Chinese Export wallpaper was found on an international auction site and was originally purchased for a house in Kew, Victoria in the 1880s. It was never installed, and remained in storage at the house for a century.
