Identifying Wallpaper?

September 27, 2018

Can anyone tell me the brand or anything about this wallpaper? We need to replace a wall of it, and the previous homeowners (who have passed away) put it up.

We just love it and need to order more!

Very beautiful.

It will be a long shot if there isn't any wall paper information laying around. Any left over wall paper anywhere in the home?

The wall paper looks to be metallic? If you know the flower name, I would type on google like Metallic Wallpaper Flower, and it'll be a lot of browsing to look through though.

Example reminds me of: www.decoratingcentreonline.co.uk/lotus-flower-metallic-wallpaper-rose...
www.decoratingcentreonline.co.uk/fine-decor-quartz-tree-wallpaper...

I wonder if you can bring it into a wallpaper specialist to see if they have an idea.

Sorry! But I hope you have luck in finding the name of the wall paper, its beautiful! :)

It is really pretty! Maybe someone at this wall paper site can help you:

www.wallcoveringinstallers.org/

It is a huge challenge to identify old papers. There have just been so many and many that are similar by different companies.

One person I know had to give up and just kept the paper one wall in a room a (they had some damage to the paper on other walls) and ended up stripping the damaged walls and painting in a coordinating color.

It looks lovely and actually looks like they planned it that way.

Another gal went mix and match with a similar paper...you have to look really close to know the walls don't match...the wallpaper shop helped her find something really close and it looks good.

I like Pghgirl's suggestions and this may be how you will have to proceed as finding a vintage wallpaper WITH a name or/and brand is very difficult so it may be a very, very long shot to finding even a brand or name for this one.

I'm assuming you also have no idea when (year) it might have been put up - maybe when the house was new? Even a year may be a beginning.

A very long shot might be to look up wallpaper brands; find their offices on the Internet and send a photo to each asking if this happens to be one of their vintage wallpapers.

Sorry but this is all that I can think of at this time.

This is an almost impossible task to research as there is nothing available but a picture. Maybe someone will recognize the pattern, but very doubtful.

Do you have even a loose piece of the wallpaper?
If not, do you have pictures that actually have the same colors as the wallpaper? This is very important.
If you have either of these, you could make the rounds of your local wallpaper stores and ask for help.
Some of these stores have owners/employees that have been in the business for many years and they may recognize the pattern. They may ask you questions about the paper such as: year used - type of paper - pasted? - textured? - smooth? etc.

You can use Google to find a list of wallpaper outlets in your area; Google/your area code.

I think this is Thomas Strahan Colonial Reproduction Wallpaper.

The Thomas Strahan Company began printing wallpapers in the Chelsea neighborhood of Boston in the 1880s. They specialized in recreational historical designs. Unfortunately their historic atelier has been demolished and most of their rollers have been destroyed.

There is a site www.thomasstrahan.com/
They offer a collection of curated wallpapers drawn from the Thomas Strahan archives.
Examples of Thomas Strahan Reproduction Wallpaper:
at $37.50
www.ebay.com/.../350583208675
at $59.99
www.ebay.com/.../351760244833

They have archives of the Thomas Strahan Company
"Many of these patterns can be purchased as a custom order upon request. All designs are copyright Thomas Strahan/Waterhouse Wallhangings and may not be reproduced." www.thomasstrahan.com/archives

Trying to identify a brand name and pattern from a picture is really difficult but even with this information you may have a very hard time finding a roll if it has been discontinued for a long time.

Wallpaper outlets that have long standing employees/owners are usually helpful but I would be sure to have several pictures just in case one is more clear than another.

Since you say you have had water damage, would it be possible to take a piece of the wallpaper to the stores since the texture will be one of the identifying features? This may be a big help with the identification process.

If you find out the brand and hopefully the pattern name, be sure to return and maybe someone can help you find what you need.

ThriftyFun receives a lot of requests for helping find discontinued wallpaper so maybe it would help to read past questions/answers.

I agree with coville - finding a particular wall paper pattern without a pattern name or manufacturer would be an almost impossible task.

  • You may have some luck with finding a manufacturer if you take a sample to some of your local wallpaper dealers as they can usually tell more about the paper and designs than inexperienced people.
  • You may need to go to several stores but many carry different brands so one may recognize it.
  • The only other suggestion might be to send a photograph to as many on-line wall paper shops as you can locate and ask if they recognize it.

If you are looking to purchase a discontinued pattern then you will need a pattern name also as that is how they will be listed on eBay, Etsy and other web sites.

Do you remember where you purchased it? If you bring the swatch there they could identify it. Otherwise, take it to a wallpaper store. You might get lucky and someone will remember it.

You are trying to identify this wallpaper because you wish to purchase more?
This wall that has this wallpaper is in your home or?
Do you have any idea how long the wallpaper has been on this wall?
This information could help as it would help determine if you are looking for a newer paper or if it is a discontinued pattern.

This type of question is asked on the ThriftyFun site quite often so maybe some of the answers will help you in your search.
www.thriftyfun.com/Identifying-Wallpaper-1.html
www.thriftyfun.com/Identifying-Wallpaper-5.html

If you are just trying to do some 'repairs' to missing or 'damaged' areas then you may need to find a good wallpaper installer that can maybe do some repairs to what is on the wall. Good installers can sometimes work 'miracles' with repairs that will not be noticed.

Another suggestion:
I would suggest you take your picture or a piece of the wallpaper if possible, to every outlet that is available in your area to see if they can help you identify the brand.
If you have a piece of the wallpaper/border they can sometimes tell the brand by the paper.
