Danish term or phrase: karduspapir
I need a U.S. English equivalent for "karduspapir," which is apparently "cartridge paper" in U.K. English.

"Lejligheden i Holsteinsgade var en af de her store københavnerlejligheder som med det samme de blev bygget, blev udsat for en absolut tidsstandsning. Og midt i denne stemning af 1890’erne flød moster Annas rod: sokker, flossede billedrammer, karduspapir, skårede vaser, pensler, tome tuber maling, tørklæder, overmalede lærreder, bøger, hullede tæpper og halvspiste rugbrødshumpler."

Explanation:
Jeanette is right, since the word is used to describe the 1890 era, I think cartridge paper might be the word you are looking for.

disagree  Jeanette Waldvogel: Karduspapir is coarse cheap paper for sketches, and apparently the king would use it to wrap cannonballs in it in the old days. Don't think wrapping paper would cover it, don't have alternative. http://www.cchobby.dk/pages/product.asp?productguid=22134
