♥♥BLACK BAROQUE is....
BLACK raised letters on antique golden paper which makes a soft sound when each page is turned as only paper beautifully made so long ago does. BAROQUE lithographs from centuries when people once had the time to create such delicate, detailed pictures, lovingly restored into objects of desire laying against the pressed words across the page to dazzle the eye. Together the words and images merge as lovers to become one sharing a space on paper from another time to your home. This is Black Baroque!
♥We have been collecting rare antique books for years. Our favorites are the 1-2 inch miniature, gold leaf paged books. Check out our flickr page to see photos of some of our rare books including one on "Cinderella"

♥We find our illustrations for our prints which are known as engravings, book plates, chromolithographs or lithographs, in antique books, at auctions, antique stores or through our rare book dealers in Europe and the USA.
♥♥THE ROMANTIC STORY OF OUR BLACK BAROQUE FRAMES:
Years ago my husband left me a huge bouquet of daisies on my doorstep when we first fell in love. It was such a dramatic sight when I came home. The backdrop of a darkened stormy sky, and the bright bouquet of daisies stood out all the more. I took a photo it was so beautiful and my husband surprised me by framing it years later with the very same Black Baroque Frame we use over and over again in our shop! That frame and picture, along with the black raised words on antique book pages, and my collection of antique books, inspired me to create Black Baroque and name it Black Baroque.
