I cannot believe this price!!!

Mr_Proctalgia

I was watching this item in "my Ebay" because I am buying a 1930's house and thought it might be nice but................... Look at what it went for and only 6 rolls too)

It retails for about £67 a roll BTW.

Are you sure about the retail price? £67 a roll seems cheap (not really the right word, but you know what I mean) for handpainted wallpaper.

Actually, having done a search, I think I've found the original owner of this paper

http://money.independent.co.uk/property/homes/article331536.ece

It says there that the price is $509 per roll!

Mr_Proctalgia

I looked at the link too - But going by the stuff on the Sanderson site the pricing seems to change everytime you log on. So who knows?? Even so crazy prices for wallpaper - Don't you think?

jenniferpa

Oh yes, undoubtedly crazy but if its hand painted? How long does it take to hand paint a roll of wallpaper? Too long, I would think. Having had children, I have had my very own hand painted wallpaper in the past LOL. What I look for in a wallpaper is its ability to be scrubbed!

This is a little bit of serendipity because I've aquired some 1960's Sanderson wallpaper that looks like it's got a silk overlay and I wanted to confirm somehow that it was silk before I listed it (no mention of it on the paper wrapper) and through that link you've given me Sandersons phone number...great, I'll see if they can check it out for me...thanks!
