Item Description

A pair of exquisitely crafted 18th C Italian paperolles, otherwise known as quilling.  These would have been created in monastries and convents from gilded paper, books and textiles donated by the local aristocracy. The backs are completely original and just as fascinating as the fronts.

Price is for the pair

Dimensions: 25cm w x 22.75cm h (each)

Condition: Please note that these pieces are extremely old.  We have left these them in their original antique condition.  There are cracks to the wobbly hand-blown glass and one frame has survived an encounter with woodworm, now treated and taken into account in the price.

Origin: Italy

Excluding delivery, small items are calculated at checkout.  For larger items, please contact us for quote.  We work with several trusted local, national and international carriers, alternatively you are welcome to collect from our shop in Lillie Road, London.
