Gold Inlay Midi Hardcover Address Book, 144pg, 120GSM by Paperblanks (Gold Inlay)

The cover of Paperblanks Gold Inlay Address Book reproduces a “Stil der Neorenaissance” design popular in nineteenth-century Germany. The original binding, composed of solid metal, was covered in a fine layer of gold which was then meticulously engraved by skilled craftsmen. Bindings like this were highly valued and were frequently adorned with silk, “cloisonné” enamels or precious stones.
