Dark Purple Leather Journal with gold tooled floral decoration. Gilded Reflections

This romantic journal is bound in dark purple goatskin with smooth finish. The cover is decorated in fine detail with floral motifs which give it a classical luxurious look. The decoration was made with heated brass tools, each element at a time, using a combination of free hand tooling and fleurons like flower buds, leaves and very fine points.

The book measures 10.2 x 7.3 inches (26 x 18.5 cm). It has 134 pages (268 sides) of artist quality paper, Laguna Prisma, ivory color, blank, 160 g/m². The paper is hand torn and works for any media including watercolor. It is acid free and does not bleed through.

The headbands are sewn from black thread and gold metallic thread. They create a beautiful model at the head and the tale of the book. The endpapers are made of marbled paper with purple, yellow and black veins. 

This notebook is a one of a kind art object. It would make a beautiful addition to any collection and any library. I hope you will enjoy filling it!
