    If it's too expensive, talk to a cnc shop. The fabric can be 3d scanned, rejoined and tidied up in software and cnc carved onto a roller. Even a 3d printed one might be good enough. There are factories that have huge liquid resin 3d printers who could replicate a roller with high levels of accuracy. You might even consider offering squares for sale to the public as a way of supporting the rebuild :) If necessary, the whole wall covering can be cnc carved flat and either stamped or just mounted into the paneling. I'd recommend trying to 3d scan or clay impression before sending it off just in case...

    Michael. It would be a really interesting video if you went along (delivered the covering) to the Lincrusta factory and spoke to them about the manufacturing process. I love how you bring in the history and link it to other parts of history. You are in your element.

    learning that this isnt actually leather was such a delightful plot twist - linoleum is such a marvellous material and it's genuinely so frustrating how the plastics industry made a home in the name so effectively that most people don't even know the original stuff was plantbased. knowing there were other similar materials too is SO cool!

    Oh, Michael! I am so excited for you! My great-grandfather built a Victorian house in Upper Michigan in 1902 and covered some of the walls in Lincrusta. It is very unique and beautiful. When the house burned in 1992, I asked my father, who restored it, to put back the Lincrusta...and he did! This is a treasure beyond measure! I appreciate all of your efforts and perspective and love of these projects. Best wishes. Perhaps you will have some volunteers to help you paint it when the time comes?

      My sister restored a beautiful historic home in the Pacific Northwest Walla Walla Valley and used Lincrusta on the walls in the Grande Salon. It was very tedious putting it on the walls, but ever so beautiful once done. I loved the drama and intrigue of your storytelling in this vlog, Michael. You and your cameraman are producing very interesting episodes for your channel and I love seeing your new productions!

    So just in case nobody in the past 900+ comments has said it, you really should frame one complete image of the original wall. All it would take is one question and you would get to tell the story all over again! Great find, Michael. And great job on the reboot. I came over here from the convent and I'm glad to have added your part of the story to my subscriptions!

    Michael, this is astonishing good news! Much more interesting than any tunnel (to me). I've always thought there was far too little on any site about the Château de la Basmaignée, including its name, which was very hard to find. All videos can't be as dramatic as this one, but the château and cottage--and of course the family--are probably the greatest draws to your site...with one exception, your particularly winsome personality and exceptional genius for discovery and appreciation of every dimension of beauty. Thank you so much for every video completed, I hope, as an inspiration for others and never as a duty.

      It is so incredible and amazing that this Lincrusta~Walton company still exists! That is an absolutely wonderful idea for Michael to tour the factory where this stuff is still made (hopefully in the original building) ...I saw a video on special tiles that are still made in England from the Victorian times ...multi-colored tiles that were endlessly complex and beautiful. A tour & explanation of how this lincrusta material was/& still is made would be great! I think he may have found his calling ...maybe as a Documentary filmmaker ...of antiques, other chateaus , and historical regions in France, England & other parts of Europe. I wish my artist-daughter could meet another artist like Michael to share such creativity with.

    Before shipping the sections of old, brittle lino based wall covering I would make two suggestions based on my own decades of experience with antiques:
    The first is that the packaging is vital. You probably want to ship it flat, with something like aluminum foil next to it that will conform to the raised pattern without damaging it or sticking to it, next a thin layer of foam and/or styrofoam on each side just enough to keep the pattern from being damaged, and then on the outside a sheet of plywood on the front and the back with a frame around the edges to hold everything in place.
    If you are still worried about it being brittle, I think that you will find that beeswax thinned with actual turpentine is more gentle and has a much longer lasting softening effect than white spirits on older linseed oil, it works as a low gloss polish, but you won't get it back off without using a strong solvent like white spirits because of the residual pine resin in the turpentine

    Ha! Michael! It's phantastic to see you so excited all over the video! I can really feel this. I wanted to make a landing base with lincrusta and it was about 1000 Euro for 2.5 meters or so. I would be scared to death to cut it. So I chose a cheaper version first.
    I don't want to bring you down, but when I learned that Adrian & Carol would have paid, what was it? 17.000 Euro for reproducing just a - in relation - quite simple wallpaper I assume the Licrusta will cost a fortune. But I keep my fingers crossed. It's a work of art. Sebsational. Meanwhile I am one of the biggest Titanic fans and it seems you too. Everything you said is totally right. Great video for me.

    If you would’ve put a close-up photo of that flower on Instagram or somewhere, it might be easier to identify it. I have a couple of ideas. Also, if you have any of that material, that’s still usable, it would make an amazing top for a console table or dresser

    When you started to describe it as a natural product with linseed oil,I was thinking Linoleum! Here in the U.S. it’s typically used on floors,(superior to rolled vinyl) however my brother put it on three walls surrounding his bathtub enclosure. Because there were no seams,there was never any leaks or mold. My brother-in-law decided to do the same thing, he picked a small “tile” pattern and forty years later,it still looks perfect,like the day it was installed and so easy to clean!🙌🏻 (I have never heard of anyone else using linoleum on the wall)😉

    Michael I’m sooo grateful you’ve come back. I honestly missed you. I’m so excited about todays video. The idea of restoring those panels has me very happy. As much as I’ve enjoyed all your videos, this one is the most exciting to me. Also, will you please show us the gardeners cottage finished. I watched the progress from the beginning and feel like we’ve been lift hanging. Isn’t it just your upstairs bedroom the only room left To show us? Very eager to see it. welcome back

    Thank you for sharing this. I can't believe how much joy I feel that your wall coverings are restorable. So many things get lost history forever. It just feels like a huge victory over time that you were able to salvage enough to recreate it by the same company. I love old homes. It is a passion of mine. I love historic linoleum patterns. In fact, I intend on getting linoleum "rugs" for my wooden floored kitchen to help protect them in a victorian era house. Again, thanks for sharing and making my day!
    Edited to add, if they can keep the roller to manufacture this pattern for other customers I don't know why you'd have to pay for the engraving of the roller, unless of course, you wanted to keep the pattern unique to yourself. Otherwise you would be paying for the development of their product line.

    Michael, I am so excited that you found this treasure right there in the chateau! You can just see the joy and excitement this brings you. You are absolutely a natural, appearing and speaking on the videos of the chateau, and teaching us the history that surrounds it. As I was watching the video and listening to you, I thought how wonderful it would be for you to deliver the covering to Lincrusta and ask them to take you through the process of making it. And video it, of course, so you could share it with us. My dream has always been to restore a chateau or an old Victorian home and learn the history behind it. You are living my dream and I appreciate it so much, as I can live it through you! Please keep doing this as you are fabulous at it. Thank you so much!

    What a gorgeous design that wallcovering was! It must have looked amazing on the walls. That's an incredible find, especially with the name on the back and how responsive the company was in their willingness to recreate it. Those black parts originally looked a little bit blue in the video; it would be pretty with a dark blue in those areas, as well. And it's understandable why it was removed; it had likely never been maintained properly, or had outlived its natural lifespan. It's such a gorgeous design, I would imagine they could sell it to others, as well, as part of a historic line. That may cut the price to you; or perhaps they could license the design and pay you royalties on it since it came from your chateau! What an incredible gift you are giving the world in the preservation work you are doing!

You do it well, also appreciate your shots in the nature, the beautiful nature surrounding the place. You are good storyteller. Kipp it up Michael. You are a person of many talents xoxo
