Antique Laid Paper 100gsm

 

SORRY THIS PAPER HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED BY THE MILL

I will try to source a similar paper, but this one was unique value. Look out for updates on this page.

 

This is a very nice old style acid free Antique Laid paper, much harder to find now due to shrinking markets. It makes an excellent end paper and also we used this paper stock for paper marbling.

 

It is an acid free paper SRA2 in size, long grain and vellum in colour, someone coined the term antique cream which is a nice description.

 19th Century Style Wove Paper. 

 

repair paper

This paper was made on an antique Fourdriner paper-making machine.

 

The goal was to create a facsimile of the type of wove papers used to such a great extent during the 19th Century.

 

Each sheet has been hand selected for a maximum caliper of four-thousandths, and a minimum caliper of three-thousandths. This translates to a sheet weight of approx 80gsm

The sheet size is 19 inches by 30 inches.

 

 

The colour of the paper is ivory, the paper takes tinting extremely well, and with little effort can be made to blend in with any antique shade. Some binders have used "air-brushing" with great success. THERE IS NO OTHER PAPER QUITE LIKE THIS IN THE WORLD.

  

Price per 5 sheets INCLUDING tax and postage £24.95

Price per 10 sheets INCLUDING tax and postage £40.45

I received my equipment. Wow, the quality is astounding I don't know where in the states I could get tools made this well. The large laying press and finishing press are massive and the sewing frame is to die for. I guess old world craftmanship still lives. I am glad I bought from you instead of buying in America just to get it fast. To have the equipment (made and) delivered within 30 days was not too long to wait. Frank 
 
I received the type holder yesterday, it actually arrived quicker than I thought it would.
Thank you for all your help and for the great customer service, really appreciate it. Bruno

The DVD's arrived last week and I have been glued to the tv screen. I have been busy sharpening my knives the way the DVD teaches, and it works! Great to have really sharp knives. Mac

 

Just a thank you for your excellent tutorial on clasp making -wonderful. Thanks so much. You're really generous to share your knowledge and skill with us youngsters. Tony

 

I had to write and thank you for your help during the last month, you guided me to a teacher near me and now I am actualy enroled on a 1 year part time bookbinding course. Thank you so much for your efforts. Ratchel

 

The equipment arrived safe and sound, it looks wonderful I can't wait to try it. Thank you for being so helpful. Louise

 

The article on calf marbling was awesome, when you get around to publishing your book, put me down for a copy. Jake

 

I just wanted to say thank you for being so patient with me over my choice of bookbinding press, so nice not to be subjected to the hard sell. Mary
