Two gorgeous Victorian handmade Turkish endpapers. Intense, rich colors ranging from deep midnight blue to maroon red, to the palest creamy off-white; luxuriously feathered and swirled by hand.
You won't believe how gorgeous these heavyweight handcrafted papers are until you hold them in your own hands! This stunning antique set is from 1871 and they measure 6.25" x 10" overall. Both are in nice condition.
Marbling paper is an ancient Japanese art going back many centuries and is a very involved process; created by floating oil-based colored inks on water and swirling them just so with a tiny brush or a straw, then gently placing paper over the design to capture the marbled design, then carefully removing the paper to be dried.
These beautiful handmade antique papers make marvelous handmade writing or art journals. They also make a gorgeous mat board for artwork or photographs and are the perfect backdrops for collage and mixed media artists.
We have nine sets of these antique beauties on hand at the moment, so if you would like more than the pair that are listed here, (each set is a little different,) please just give us a shout and we'll give you a price break on shipping.
They'll come to your door packed flat and protected in a rigid mailer delivered First Class Mail by those nice folks at the USPS.
