Tin ceiling

Pressed tin ceiling over a store entrance in Bellingham, Washington, U.S.A.

A tin ceiling is an architectural element, consisting of a ceiling finished with tinplate with designs pressed into them, that was very popular in Victorian buildings in North America in the late 19th and early 20th century.[1] They were also popular in Australia where they were commonly known as pressed metal ceilings or Wunderlich ceilings (after the main Australian manufacturer Wunderlich).[2] They were also used in South Africa.[3]
