Have you checked the loft for any rolls of paper stored in there?
Are you sure that is wallpaper , it looks like "Swirl" Artex finish to me .

I think you're right, but even if it is a paper, I think it will be a modern embossed one. There are also textured vinyls.
The are two grades of 'glypta, I forget which is which, but I formerly had one where the deep embossing was filled with a putty-like material, and was gloss painted, and I needed a blowlamp to get it off. The house was built around 1922.
the makers still have some of the old rollers and make repro batches from time to time. It is so expensive that I think the chances of anybody buying it in the 1990s for a modern house (not a restoration) are nil.

Right hand side you can see the join. If its been in 30 years may be time for a change?
thank you for all the replies
the closest I have got to is

I tried a local shop they were no good - have emailed anaglypta but they are yet to come back - I have also email the past owners who put it up in the 1990 they said it came from great mills and they THINK its anaglypta weave but a google turns out its not unless weave has changed - do you recommend anyone who is good at finding this stuff maybe i should go on 'time team'
a good call - too good to be true - i had another look just encase
I wish, its wallpaper unfortunately
I'm hoping if I can get a name I can google it and leave it a couple of years it will eventually turn up on ebay
Correct it is wallpaper

It isn't anaglypta.
It was probably put up to hide a cracked ceiling.
you could probably pull it off and put up a new embossed paper or blown vinyl if you happen to like that sort of thing.
Or smooth, if you are a normal person

sorry I should of mentioned its on the wall not the ceiling - the ceiling is artex but don't get me started on that
you said its not anaglypta but didn't elaborate can you take a guess at who makes it then
I'm sorry I can't help more, but remember there is no reason you can't have one wall a different pattern, and in a different colour.
Continental style, I think they used to call it.
Feature wall, they now call it.
