Blue Velvet Bookmark, Velvet Dalmatic Collection by Paperblanks (Blue Velvet)

Our Blue Velvet bookmark design is inspired by a piece of a 15th-century velvet dalmatic. It is decorated in brocaded gilt metal thread with a seven-lobed shield, an artichoke-like botanical shape and tiny floral patterns. Creating a velvet design such as this would have been a painstaking procedure, making this a luxury fabric during the Renaissance.
