Wunderlich were a brand of decorative metal panels used for pressed metal ceilings and other architectural elements in Australia.
History
The Wunderlich company was established by Ernest Julius Wunderlich in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia in 1885. Initially the panels were imported from Berlin, Germany but later patents were taken out and the panels were manufactured in Australia.[1]
The panels were produced until the 1950s when popular tastes changed away from these traditional elements. In 1983, production of the panels recommenced to meet the needs of restorations of period buildings.[2]
