Journal with Lock and Key, Black Leather - "The Magic Book"

This book is made of black leather, dyed and antiqued by hand. It was designed to resemble a medieval tome with lock and key which are functional and will keep your writings safe. The metal brads placed in the corners and the lock have a patina to fit the overall antique look of this book. The brads will allow it to lay flat when opened but the surface of the covers will never enter in contact with the table and thus will protect the decoration from scratching. The decoration is done by hot stamping with silver foil, each small element at a time .

The book measures 10.2 x 7.3 inches (26 x 18.5 cm). It has 124 pages (248 sides) of Favini Laguna artist paper with parchment finish. This paper is acid free, hand-torn, has 180 gsm and will work for writing and sketching in any media, even watercolor.

The end pages are made of beautiful marbled paper with black white and orange veins on a grey background. The headbands are hand sewn from black and silver thread.

This journal is an art object. You can use it as a magic book, a grimoire or a book of shadows, or simply as a secret journal, either way, you will love it once you’ll meet it.
