Description

The patterns of marble stone have inspired the decoration of buildings and interior design since the antiquity. Marbling started to be used for decorating paper in Japan in the 12th century and Spaniards brought the technique to Europe. Over the centuries, it has been most popular in bookbinding – marbled paper became a valued covering material mainly for book covers, replacing expensive leather and parchment. Marbled paper that was originally handmade started to be mass-produced industrially in the first half of the 19th century
