Profile

Our primary area of interest is western European and American marbling from the 16th through the 19th centuries. We have researched extensively the chemically altered patterns of the late 18th and early to mid 19th centuries: Shell, Stormont, Tiger-eye, Schrotel, Broken and others. Our paints are prepared as they would have been in the 19th century, and are designed to match the pigments used during those times.

Vita

We are self-taught marblers with a combined 20-year experience in marbling paper.
