Anaglypta and Lincrusta
We all know I love faux finishing. If you are a regular reader of the Fauxology blog, you know how much I?also love wallpaper and beautiful base paint colors. Now imagine?a material?that could combine all three? We are talking?about?products that have permanent residence in?the Garay Artisans Hall of Fame: Anaglypta and Lincrusta.?
Lincrusta, a paintable tough petroleum-based wallpaper, was invented in 1870. Ten years later, Thomas Palmer patented his creation, Anaglypta, a lighter alternative to the heavy and hard-to-install Lincrusta. Anaglypta is an embossed and flexible wallpaper that is made out of pressed cotton pulp and meant to be painted as well. The papers are?imprinted with their design while the cotton pulp is still in its wet state

Hi, Brenda! One good company I know to refer you to is Roos International located in Deerfield Beach, FL. http://www.roosintl.com – Anaglypta is not yet listed on their website but I know that they are getting ready to be a solid supplier here in the States. Try talking to Dich Roos himself at (800) 888-2776 or (954) 429-3883. I’m sure he’ll be able to help you locate what you need. Let me know if I can be of further help.
