PAPERBLANKS GOLD INLAY | MINI | UNL. JOURNAL
Emulating historical styles was much in vogue during the 19th century.
Patrons encouraged bookbinders to imitate the sensuousness of designs fromthe Renaissance and Romantic eras, and bindings were valued for their
ornamental richness. As the level of luxury increased, book covers were
frequently decorated with gold and adorned with silk, cloisonne enamels orprecious stones. By looking to history for inspiration, bookbinders
created extraordinary works of art. Our Gold Inlay cover is a faithful
recreation of a Stil der Neorenaissance design popular in 19th-century
Germany. Stil der Neorenaissance remained au courant from 1875 until the
First World War. Composed of solid metal, the original binding was first
covered by a fine layer of gold, then meticulously engraved by skilled
craftsmen.
