If you happen to have some of the small (10 - 12 cm) simple "rosettes" without any frills that were common in the 1920s in the less fancy rooms, they are often made of brass sheet and quite easy to free from thick layers of paint.
Everyone seems to be in plaster, we thought we'd try to find something a bit more fun than the strict ones that were popular in the 1920s without straying too far from the decade.

If you looked at the link to ABC Färgekonomi, then you could hardly have missed seeing all the others in modern material because there are plenty of them. I thought you wanted the real deal...because there aren't many in town who have it, but it's just plaster in the upper models in the link.
Both Orac and Nomastyl are polyurethane and what ABC doesn't have in stock, he can order.
Did you flip through the plaster rosettes because on the third page, there are some less ostentatious ones.
A mix of the rosette in our bedroom in the current 1800s apartment and 1920s style would have been nice
The problem is that they are two very distinct styles, and there seems to be a lack of rosettes in 1920s style, which in this case I strongly suspect is so-called Nordic classicism. I think a ceiling rosette is quite a central element that easily draws attention, so if you want a stylish result, I would be a bit careful about going too far. Can you elaborate on what you mean by "strama"? What do the current rosettes look like?
Oh so beautiful! Surely you're not removing the originals??? You just need to wash them with clean water and a not too hard toothbrush. It does take time, but it's worth the effort. I had original stucco from the 1920s and divided a room in two. I hired carpenters for the job and they had to build in the rosette with a cover... hopefully, a future homeowner will be grateful that the original remains the day the room is restored!
The one in the living room is in the best condition of them all, the others are quite damaged and small.
edit: you can't remove 10 layers of paint with water and a toothbrush
edit2: We have also already discarded all the moldings in favor of new ones. In our old apartment from 1870, we chose to restore everything, but it feels a bit overkill in such a young apartment. What we will restore are the door panels and a hat rack.
Didn't find a good picture, but zoomed in on another picture
OK, I understand what you mean, hardly the most impressive thing one can imagine. There are much more fun variations without moving outside the 20s.
The size, on the other hand, is completely in line with the 20s. Small very simple "rosetter" in the hall, kitchen, and bedroom, and a slightly larger and nicer one in the living room. However, generally much smaller than in older houses.
