Paperblanks Baroque Ventaglio Marrone Midi Notebook

Paperblanks Baroque Ventaglio Ventaglio Marrone Midi notebook. Where better to pen a magnum opus than inside this magnificent example of "a ventaglio" (fan) binding. Our reproduction of giltwork melting over red and brown Moroccan leather shrouds unadorned pages that make space for chronicling events of the day or recording elaborate fictions. Our covers display at their 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 and Spanish Baroque, the geometrically compartmentalised design finds its inspiration in the French style "à la fanfare" which gained popularity during the first half of the 17th century. Characterised by a celebration of ornate detail, Baroque decoration draws interest to deep symbolism couched in opulence.
