Hand marbled sheet of paper - Blue marble design

Hand marbled paper - Blue marble design

Beautiful hand marbled paper in a blue and gold classic design. Perfect for stationery crafts, bookbinding, luxe gift wrapping, or simply to frame – the possibilities are endless. Each sheet has been designed by hand using hand made tools with a 17th century technique on acid-free and individually unique pieces.

The technique used to create the marbling requires great skill and precision, and has been used in Italy since the 17th century. A basin is filled with a thick, vegetable-based liquid, and its surface is sprinkled with different colours. The craftsman creates patterns in these colours by hand, and then gently places the paper on the surface of the liquid without moving the design. It only takes a few seconds for the paper to absorb the colours, then the decoration is complete and the colours are immediately dry.
