Double Side Antique Tile (Roosters: "A Mort")
$550.00
Product Description:
This is a double sided metal etui seal tile would have been one of many tiles that were part of a larger interchangeable antique set. In great antique condition with lovely patina
Side 1: This is a highly detailed image of two roosters fighting. Above the image is the caption "a mort" meaning "to the death". One of the fascinating things about this seal is that it can carry many layers of symbolism including:
- Honor: A symbol of the fight and struggle to defend one’s beliefs or honor.
- Courage and Determination: Unwavering courage to be brave and stand one's ground.
- Conflict: A fight to the death when stakes are high.
Let this seal convey a deeper meaning to reflect your own personal journey.
Side 2: An Italian phrase "il gausto il ver la liberta sospiro" can be interpreted as a desire to be released from personal, emotional, or situational turmoil in pursuit of a better, freer state of being.
Additional Information:
- Original hand marbled designs: If you are purchasing multiples of one sheet please note that they will be similar but not identical. Due to the hand marbled process, no two are exactly the same.
- Our maker's mark logo is stamped on the reverse side of each full and half size sheet identifying it as an authentic piece hand marbled in our studio. There may also be pencil or pen marks on the reverse side identifying which side we should marble. After being marbled, sheets are typically numbered on the back in pencil noting the paper size and style number. This information is not visible from the front of the paper. These characteristics are indicative of an authentic original piece of hand marbled paper. We feel that these add to the artisan quality of the product and the unique charm of the handmade process.
- Due to the wet nature of the marbling process there may be traces of paint on the reverse side. This characteristic is also indicative of an authentic original piece of hand marbled paper that adds to the artisan quality and the unique charm of the handmade process.
