Manufactured in Britain since 1877, Lincrusta is still highly desired and admired right across the world. We’ve long understood what it takes to create a lasting impression. And not long after launching in Britain, the appeal of Lincrusta’s original wallcoverings soon spread across the globe.

From the White House to the Titanic, Lincrusta has graced the walls of some of the world’s most iconic interiors. This unique product was the ingenious creation of Frederick Walton who had pioneered the development of linoleum floor coverings during the 1860’s. Lincrusta was an instant success, replacing painstaking artisan plasterwork and appealing to Victorian England’s tastes because of its beauty, practicality and durability. Our designs quickly found their way into notable buildings throughout the world. Absolutely unique and exceptionally beautiful, our wallcoverings remain unsurpassed for their deeper emboss, exquisite detail and enduring strength.

Lincrusta is produced using the same exacting standards of craftsmanship and attention to detail as it’s always been. Originally manufactured at Sunbury-on-Thames, production soon moved to Lancashire in 1918. From the very beginning, our wallcoverings have never needed improving. Even today, we still use many of the original rollers to emboss our distinctive designs, and make our products using many of the same natural materials as we always have. And to ensure that the finished product is nothing less than perfect, each roll is individually inspected and dated.

Beautiful home or boutique hotel, Lincrusta’s distinctive designs take interiors to a whole new level of luxury and sophistication.
