I cannot find this exact wisteria stencil, but there are a number of similar options available from a variety of online businesses. I include the best one below.
If you omitted the solid black lines—the support frame—it would be pretty close.
These rooms appeared in the Style Portfolio of Home Decoration from Sherwin Williams Co. (1910).

Specification—Ceiling, S-W Flat-tone Cream. Wall, S-W Fiat-tone, Terra Cotta. Stencil, No 97. Woodwork, Varnish Stain, Dark Oak. Floor, S-W Floorlac, Light Oak.
This stencil is easy to find; I even own one. You can buy one very like it
here at American Home Stencils.
This bedroom first appeared in Ladies Home Journal in May 1911, but a very similar design was followed up in the Craftsman Magazine in Dec 1913.
These interior pictures showed up in two different Alabastine paint idea catalogs from 1906 and 1910. I jumped around their different catalogs enough times, I sort of lost track of what catalog each stencil image was from. Unfortunately, Alabastine was known to re-number their stencils, and they never included more than a large sample of all their stencils in a single catalog. It was a little frustrating matching these up. I don't include the specifications, because they don't make any sense without the paint chart and the stencil numbers usually don't match anyway.

Alabastine obviously liked pastel colors as interior colors—they're definitely not to my taste. =)
