Old Wallpaper Matching?
(iusearchlinux.fyi)
We're getting our house repainted, so I took down one of the hideous lamps in the bathroom to uncover this. It was certainly a choice, but I think this may have been original to the house (ca 1940). While it's a bit much, we're trying to be authentic to the original vision of the house. Does anyone know if it's possible to find old wallpapers? Are there individuals or companies that can match designs like this?
For the wallpaper you could have a custom print run done. I own a small printing company in the UK and we do bespoke wallpapers from time to time. Not sure where you’re based, but I’m sure you could find someone localish to you.
With regards to the design, unless you happen to find an exact match, which I’m doubtful of, you would end up just ‘taking a guess’ to create the rest of it. Or adapt the design into something you like yourself so you have old and new both in one.
I do know of some print shops in my area (USA), so I can try looking at those.
