Sources for Deco wallpaper or paint colors?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Art Deco Society of Washington : One Thread

In addition to the previously posted question (asking for typical art deco interior colors), I was also wondering if anyone knew where to get reproduction Art Deco wallpapers. I have Bradbury and Bradbury's catalog, but their stuff is a tad too early for my tastes. I have tried contacting the Martha Stewart people, since it was posted here that she did a show on Deco wallpapers....all to no avail. I would like to paint and decorate my new housein a late 20's style. It's beginning to look like, short of matching vintage paint colors, that I'm on my own. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I'm also looking for art deco wall paper & was wondering if YOU have had any success in your shopping. I hope you've found what you're looking for. I watch the decorating programs nearly ALL THE TIME as I am on sick leave right now & see this era sadly neglected. Thanks for any help you can send my way. Carole the cattoy. may 2002

I am also hunting papers for my 1920's home. I am looking for designs that would have been used in a farmhouse. Based on the scraps that I have been able to pull off of some walls (behind the trim) they were pale backgrounds with floral decorations and several of the them had raised silver designs. I noticed that Waverley had a few similar designs. There are a couple of websites with lots of papers on them and occasionally you can find some vintage papers being sold on Ebay. I purchased some partial rolls just to have something to go by!
