Have an Edwardian house that we wish to retro decorate in certain areas.

Has anyone any good links to wall paper sites that sell Victorian / Edwardian patterns.

2 hours on google and I found 2 x ok' ish patterns :eek:

Not looking for bespoke stuff, but should be able to go to about £30 a roll.

Ta for any help / pointers

Crown were making a lot of the nice victorian papers in the late 1890's and into the early 1900's. The "Wainscoating" the bit that was under the Dado rail was usually LINCRUSTA, Lots of diferrent patterns but a lot have been discontined. Most of these now are quite expensive.
They also made Anaglypta and Supaglypta which was around at the early part of the century. Most paterns have been taken over by Blown Vinyls now though.
Coloured pattern papers are made by most companies now but some of the more traditional like Shand Kydd etc are still available.
 
Below dado all the lincrusta is still in situ, and amazingly (despite x number of coats of paint) still hold it's pattern. So it paper for above dado and below picture rail.

Have checked Shand Kydd, a bit to colourfull for us and at average £60-£80 a roll a bit over budget :eek:

Any other modern day manufactures of old stylie paper ?

Thanks for the post btw
