Description:

Large paper-parchment from theworld famous CANSON-MONTGOLFIER manufacture, created in 1557 in Annonay,France. Please read carefully details hereafter, because one should not expectto receive an ordinary vellum parchment made of one single large skin.

This parchment is entirely madeout of mixed domestic animal skins (goat, calf, pig). The process ofmanufacture is similar to paper except that the pulp used is not vegetal butanimal. The animal origin is obvious from the unmistakable smell of a burningsample piece. It is NOT made out of one single processed animal skin.

The secret CANSON-MONTGOLFIERprocess enabled the final resulting product to be a thin sheet which distinctlyshows the MONTGOLFIER watermark (see photos).

We think all sheets to be morethan 100 years old.

We are the only ones to supplythis type of large real parchment on :

60 cm x 48.5 cm (= 23.62” x19.09”),ready to be used.

The diagonal is 75 cm (=29.53”).

200 sheets were available.

May be used for writing,painting, lamp shading, art, liturgy and religious ceremonies, etc.

This type of parchment, newand never used, is not available anywhere now.

It is a natural product, andtherefore subject to irregular surface or aspect, inherent to its nature.

The manufacturing processmakes each sheet unique, although extremely similar to any other one.

Variations in humidity andother factors may have some impact on this product, as is normal for real skinparchment, but overall, it will be much more stable, sturdy and resistant thanplain paper, under any circumstances.

All sheets will be shippedrolled. Upon arrival, its curl is easy to remove and no unsightly fold will beleft in the material fibers.

Upon request a small set of 2 samples about 9\" x 4\" each (or 22 cm x 12 cm) maybe sent anywhere in the world for anominal $10 fee, covering handling and shipping. See item # 281069084078 at
