Historic European molds are used to produce our line of beautifully rendered papercasts. The papercasts are pulled from our collection of heritage baking molds, originally carved hundreds of years ago. This piece is entitled "4 Seasons of the Vintner" - 14.75" x 18.75". Our paperclay (recycled paper) is molded and the dry papercasts painted in pigmented beeswax, gilded in 18k gold or silver, and polished to a soft lustre. Each papercast is uniquely painted, but can be ordered in basic tones. Matted with archival board (no glass needed), we frame in a 1.5" beaded walnut synthetic wood frame. (Unframed matted pieces and special colour treatments are available by request.) Our surface treatment gives the piece a protective finish that is sunlight and dust resistant. Polish the papercast surface with a soft cloth to bring out the gilding's shine.
