I am pretty sure that I am not going to spell it correctly but, it sounds like annaglypta.
It is Anaglypta wallpaper. Trying to find matching a pattern may be hard. Especially when new ones come out and older ones are discontinued. You may want to get in touch with http://www.wallpaperdirect.com/us. Send them a photo and they may advise you. They do carry a large line of Anaglypta.
He's not asking what type of wall paper it is but the name of the leaf. It kinda looks like an Ivy pattern.
If you want to get a similar stencil, it looks a lot like maple leaves- https://www.amazon.com/PetPaint-Maple-Professional-Stencil-Insert/dp/B00QYC3ULY/ref=sr_1_33?ie=UTF8&qid=1486981265&sr=8-33&keywords=maple+leaf+stencil and https://www.amazon.com/Stampedous-Dreamweaver-Metal-Stencil-Maple/dp/B00VKJW8F0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1486981239&sr=8-1&keywords=maple+leaf+stencil
If all else fails, you could cut out any really bad spots and put a frame of simple half round and use the space then as a flat open wall space.
Considering I didn't even know what this wall covering is called when I posted this all of this information is valuable, thank you.
Perhaps Lincrustra (sp?). Still available. Google it! What year is your townhouse? We're restoring our 6th, hopefully our forever, an 1880. Good Luck!
It looks like an Art Deco/styalised fleur de lys. There are lots of Art Deco period tiles with this kind of pattern. You could try placing a sheet of acetate over it and tracing it with a marker or white board pen....may need some help holding it. The acetate, cut carefully with a craft knife, or a scan and cut if you or someone you know has one, could then act as your stencil
You may want to contact The Winchester House in California. I saw something very similar to this when we toured it last year.
I'm certainly no expert but it looks like an Arts & Crafts design to me. You may want to look at this site http://www.crafthome.com/subsidiarypages/stencils/stencilmenu.htm
good luck!
If you feel brave, do a rubbing of the wallpaper and cut your own stencil.
I think that Margaret from the UK is close, but after looking at a couple of books that I have it looks lime a stylized Art Nuveau ivy leaf. Around late 1800's to early 1920's.
I think the paper itself is call an Anaglypta Wallpaper. Very common from that era.
