Bundle of Antique Papers

What is included?

  • Antique French documents, some dating back to the eighteenth century.
  • Vintage ephemera: bills, invoices, letters.
  • Some new papers, cards, luggage labels and envelopes so you have something to decorate.
Many of the antique documents are over two hundred years old, and are very beautiful, with intriguing seals or examples of calligraphy. Some dealers sell individual sheets for upwards of £10. If you subscribe to The Stitcher's Journal you can access an article about collaging with antique papers on the Inspiration Board.

I started to collect these in 2015, having found a pile of eighteenth-century legal documents at an antiques fair. the exquisite calligraphy and embossed stamps and seals are fascinating. The bundles are beautiful objects in themselves. I use them for collage and for making decorations as in the foldout included in Issue 23 of The Stitcher’s Journal (December 2024). If you are a new subscriber, you can still access this foldout via the Inspiration Board item ‘Collaging with antique papers’.
