Antique Tattered French Ephemera Collection
A beautifully imperfect collection of antique paper ephemera, gathered for its extraordinary texture, faded color and unmistakable sense of age.
The collection includes salvaged antique French book pages, pages from an 1800s book, and an old portrait mounted on beautifully aged paper. The French pages are especially lovely, with time-darkened edges, delicate typography and wonderfully tattered layers that give them the appearance of papers discovered tucked inside an old European desk or forgotten library.
The portrait adds another dimension to the collection—an evocative image with the softness and muted coloring of an old painting. Each piece has been selected because of its wear rather than in spite of it: foxing, tears, curled corners, discoloration, fragile edges and softened paper are all part of the beauty.
Finished simply with natural twine, the collection arrives ready to layer and display.
Details:

Beautiful framed exactly as found—with every torn edge visible—or used as a backdrop for pressed botanicals and other little treasures.
