I am on a project that has an early wallpaper mural that has been damaged by
water and smoke during a fire. The subject of the mural is a military
celebration, possibly at West Point. The mural has dried out, but has brown
water stains and a little soot.
Could you pass along any names (and contact info) of wallpaper specialists
who you know do good work? Or, let me know if you are one yourself?
A complete new reproduction of the mural is also being considered. I know
about Scalamandre and Bradbury & Bradbury, do you know of any other shops
that can do reproductions?
You can see photos of the mural and its condition at my website:
