Local Description

The art of filigree is a moving testament to the human drive to ornament in order to delight the eye and the spirit. One can imagine a magistrate in ancient times carrying such a book and using it to keep a record of matters of state as easily as one can see it in pride of place on a well-appointed contemporary desk. This richly layered, decadent journal is an ideal place to preserve your inspired contemplations.

Description

Combining the Latin words "filum" (thread) and "granum" (seed), silver "filigree" describes an art form that is achieved by first die cutting a base layer of silver sheets and then meticulously etching elaborate grooves into its surface. The polished binding seen on Paperblanks Silver Filigree Maya Blue journal is inspired by a 1697 French binding of Johann Arndt's Paradiesgärtlein.
