Trying to match it; trying anyway

It would be interesting if any old hands recognise it even if not available

Someone did a Frank Spencer on the ceiling

That brings back memories. The house that I was brought up in had that on the stairs and landing up to the dado rail. It was the same pattern as illustrated but ours was painted different colours over the years. The texture and feel was hard almost like plastic and a mate who was in the trade thought it could have been Lincrusta but he hadn't actually seen it. We moved into the house in about 1963 and I sold it in about 2003 and as far as I know it is still intact. We never removed any of it to examine what it was as it seemed pretty hard wearing.

Fabulous story Pete. So that sounds like it means it's a pre-1963 pattern.
I'm quite sad that my wallpaper's days are likely limited now. It looked great until the accident.

As a matter of interest does it appear to be wall paper or something a little more substantial. We never removed or damaged ours so it was hard to tell.

I've chucked the pieces now. They had lime plaster on the back so they felt substantial with layers of paint, but just seemed like embossed 'wallpaper' to me.

Thanks for input. Would you be able to say more ?

Sorry. You just asked for it to be named. I thought Tarquin suited it.

I googled it and Sanderson have already used it (one of the wallpapers in the V&A) so think again !
