Does anyone know of an online archive or image source where I can look through old anaglypta/embossed wallpaper patterns.
When we moved in the living room had a great paper on the ceiling but a large section was missing where the bay window had leaked. I've spent hours on the net but without a reference or design code it's a needle in a haystack at best :/

Sent anaglypta a few pics and they said they have no record of this design in their archive. can anyone suggest any other manufacturer's I could contact?
I suspect the design may be from the 50s/60s based on the previous owner and his fondness for doing nothing to his home for a very long time :/
