Antique blown wallpaper source

moondog67 · 30 Jun 2009

Hi,
I have some lovely old pressed / blown patterned wallpaper which is on the ceiling above my stairs - but similar to stuff below the dado rail -
it is damaged and I need to replace about 3/4 metres . Where can I find a range of old wallpapers so maybe I can match it ? It is an impressive pattern and will be hard to patch unless someone knows where I may find it ??? All help appreciated

How long has it been on? did you put it on or was it on when you moved into the house. A lot of older houses were papered with Lincrusta, heavily embossed paper made with putty. A lot of the patterns have been discontinued now but Crown still do some.

am guessing it is 40 years old . well before my time! Don't think it is made with putty, is just paper. will check crown range thanks.

Anaglypta

that was around 40 years ago. There is an Hotel in Eastbourne with a corridor dado of Lincrusta or similar. With Swastikas all along it

embossed in the paper. Obviously before 1939 then

Could be Anaglypta, or the thicker one supaglypta, these are also made by crown.
