This newest Paperblanks' reproduction of gilt-work melting over red Moroccan leather shrouds unadorned pages that make space for chronicling events of the day or sketching the next masterpiece. The cover displays at its centre a rose window surrounded by a design of slight Eastern influence and in each corner a filigree fan – the window quartered. An intricate ornamentation typical of Italian Baroque, the geometrically compartmentalized design finds its inspiration in the French style à la fanfare, which gained popularity during the first half of the seventeenth century. Characterized by a celebration of ornate detail, Baroque decoration draws interest to deep symbolism couched in opulence. This richly layered, decadent journal is an ideal place to preserve inspired contemplations. Journal has a strong and lasting cover that imitates leather, measuring 8¼ x 11¾ inches with 240 unlined pages, with ornamental edging and metal clasp. Bound by the smythe sewn method, journal will withstand the ravages of time. Click video below to see the Baroque Ventaglio in action:
