Trying to match a finish

Hello to all, new on this forum. Trying to figure out how to duplicate a finish for a large patch. Interior wall. Not a pro with plaster, more of a drywall guy so I'm scratching my head over this one. Basically, either I figure out how to copy this or we have to rock the room. Anybody know what this finish is called? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve

It's a type of broken leather laced. That's the name of it when artexing. It looks like a version of that.

Gear has to be wettish - get a very thin polythene bag, over a sponge or texturing pad.

Stipple and texture.

After 20 mins and/or it has firmed up, lace it over with flimsy plastic lacing tool. (Think of ice cream lid flexibility) and use lightly like a trowel to 'smudge it' to finish off.

Hey Bobski thanks for the tip. Background, it's an old duplex for a rental. Owner wants it done ASAP to rent, ugly not a concern to the guy. I'll give the cat's arse a go if it don't pan out. Thanks again for the step by step.
