♥We are proud to say we are the "first" Etsy shop to bring you this Owl. This is our signature Owl we have been carrying since we opened our shop last March 2010. We came up with the design, concept, and his cute placement on the page first, as we do with all of our prints.
♥We carry this Owl in our shop on antique book pages filled with text, and now on antique music sheet book pages which are from an antique book full of hundreds of pages.
♥In Photo 4, you can see the actual "color" book plate/print he came from that we bought from an antique dealer. We colorized our Owl in this listing for you to pretty black and white.
♥This listing is for one Antique Owl Peeper on a music sheet book page.
♥♥♥ OUR ORIGINAL DESIGN & CONCEPT ♥♥♥
♥♥ All of our prints may be ordered on without the banner or the quote of your choice for those prints that have existing banners. Please leave us a note when checking out as to your preference.
♥ Paper: A gorgeous antique music sheet book page from and antique 1800's book.
♥♥ We are the first shop to use the book pages for our prints which come from four separate books. All of which are represented in the photos of our prints. We spent an enormous amount of time researching to find our beautiful book pages for you before opening our shop in Feb 2010. The books we use are very rare and very expensive. We are also the first shop to use banners and quotes. All which are apart of our Black Baroque signature style.
♥ Print Size: The page size is 8 x 10 inches or 20.3 x 25.4 cm.
♥ Illustrations: All of our illustrations are dated from the time period between the 16th and 18th centuries. We have been collecting rare antique books for years. We have antiquarian book dealers who search for engravings, lithographs, chromolithographs, for us in the USA and in Europe. Our favorite books are miniature books from one inch to 1.5 inches in size, gold leafed pages, leather bound. Our favorite of all our collection of antique books is an antique Cinderella Book you can see on our flickr page. The link is in our profile.
♥ About your print: You will receive one book page but not the exact book page as shown in this listing as they come from one book making each page one of a kind. Please keep in mind that one of the reasons we use antique books pages besides their beauty and that they make for an interesting read, is to also to recycle giving them new life. We find that there is a loss of love of antique books except with antiquarian collectors and dealers, and in using antique book pages we feel we are helping to keep a part of history and its beauty alive. In the spirit of saving the past and recycling, we use book pages for our prints that have character flaws with spotting, uneven printing and corner bending adding antique charm to the pages. All of our book pages have that gorgeous golden color that only comes from age.
♥ The frame is not included. We do not sell them and we do not know where you can buy them.
♥ Your print will be packaged in a clear plastic sleeve, with a cardboard insert to protect the print while being shipped. It is shipped in a large white mailer.
