Old Victorian Album Cover Lined with Ditsy Paper

I adore these old book covers purely for inspiration.  The way the paper and surface has worn over years to create this beautiful surface that only time and use delivers.

Always a privilege to study and own. I love to use them as base boards for styling and photography.  They also look lovely leant on a shelf or mantle like a painting or as part of a still life.  This is a reclaimed front cover of an old album.  The front is beautifully embossed where the inner side is layered with a beautiful ditsy paper printed in gold.

This board measures 21.5cm x 14cm 

Mid 1800's.
