DescriptionCapturing the flavour of Renaissance-style binding at its zenith, these intricately embellished journals are so very pleasing to the eye and touch. During this remarkable period, manuscripts were renowned for their exquisitely crafted covers made of fine Moroccan leather, hand tooled in gold with delicate foliage patterns. Brought to Europe via the flourishing trade routes to the Far and Middle East, this style of ornamentation lent a new vibrancy and lightness of design that was not present in medieval manuscripts. The timeless beauty of these antique books is brought into the present with our finely wrought binding reproductions. |
