Lincrusta Tapestries
Main Tag:
Description: Lincrusta production began at factories in Germany, first in Delmenhorst at the Anker linoleum factory (which later became part of the Deutsche Linoleum Werke) and later at a factory in Hannover, part of Rasch & Co. Lincrusta was promoted as a practical wallcovering and continued to be used in a wide variety of places – including the private rail carriages of Kaiser Wilhelm II. At the same time, due to the phenomenal success of Lincrusta, there was a proliferation of alternative products which came to market.
