Péladan Centenary Collection: Les Bijoux de Rose+Croix: a collection of fifteen art prints from the original coloured drawings and accompanying historical booklet, both by Sasha Chaitow PhD. Limited to 200 silk and black kidskin portfolios with fifteen giclee art prints from the ‘Les bijoux de Rose+Croix’ collection printed on superior quality 300gsm buttermilk laid paper.
Sasha Chaitow has rendered these designs freehand, adding her own design, colour, and textural elements, whilst staying true to the symbolic and aesthetic qualities of the originals. First done in pen and reproduction antique inks on handmade deckle paper, the original miniature paintings were then tipped in hand-marbled paper and mounted on wood. The original finished pieces were sealed with several coats of varnish to produce an enamel-like effect that nonetheless retained the paper texture. The finished pieces resembled jewels through their vibrant colouring, texture and weight.
This collection of high-quality prints includes 15 works from the “Bijoux” series, produced onto 300gsm buttermilk laid paper especially to mark the centenary.
Accompanying historical and biographical booklet by Sasha Chaitow, printed onto laid buttermilk paper, hand sewn with purple ribbon to match the binding of the portfolio.
