So we were pulling out some walls today, and stumbled upon this wallpaper (found under wooden paneling, covered with drywall). It is so beautiful, and is crumbling - but its hand painted and I am so curious about this pattern! On the back of one of the pieces is signed by "Roger..." and I can't make out the last name.
The house was built in 1892 by a German immigrant. This wall was located by the original entry where the staircase used to be.
Anyone have any insights about this? It almost looks like Art Deco / Arts and Craft movement style...

Or almost Craftsman. We saved bits of ours, and left a bit of the original on the dining room wall. I looked on the web, but never found any of them.
