A British invention, Lincrusta was the brainchild of manufacturer, entrepreneur and inventor Frederick Walton. By adapting his remarkably successful floor covering product, Staines Linoleum, he applied it to walls, thus creating a stunning alternative to the popular but painstaking artisan plasterwork of the time. The Victorian middle-classes loved its durability, sanitary properties and ornate effects and it was soon found transforming not just the interiors of homes but everything from railway carriages to royal palaces and even The White House. Completely unique and uniquely hard-wearing, Lincrusta offers the ability to create stunning yet bespoke highly decorative finishes. Whether you're recreating traditional splendour or making a contemporary statement, the Lincrusta Collection has a range of wallcovering designs perfect for residential and commercial projects. Made from natural materials, and hand-finished by craftsmen in exactly the same way as when it was invented in 1877, Lincrusta is a truly British wallcovering that has stood the test of time.
