Provencale Small Bookplates
2.5"w x 1.25"h
Provencale is a style with an overall pattern that was inspired by the hand-painted art on antique pottery found throughout Mediterranean Europe, especially in the region of Provence, France. Our finds from Roussillon and Avignon specifically inspired the art on this style. Scrolls, fleurs-de-lis, florals, vines, and other stylized art motifs are arranged into a pleasing pattern across the surface of Provencale. The prominent coquille shell and long-gowned feminine figure standing above it is the focal point of the art. The main color is bold, with a contrasting accent color that appears in small spot art on most items. The main font, a classic condensed serif face, is set in a box of solid color, bordered by bands of contrasting color. The accent font is a similar but non-condensed serif font that is easy to read at small point sizes.
