Never come across that. Are you sure it's the right way up? No clues in
the pattern?

Having said that, in the early days, I once set about papering a stair
well with the longest drop first. Somewhere between paste table and
wall, probably as I balanced on the bannister, I managed to transpose
bottom and top.

Management wouldn't accept upside down flowers.


Does that brick pattern wallpaper still exist? Having watched my dad
hang some at home (right way up) I made a point of looking at the
orientation every time I saw some. It wasn't unusual for it to be upside
down, i.e. the shadows in the pointing were at the top of each brick.
