Framed Antique French Monogram

This one-of-a-kind piece features an original page from an antique French monogram pattern book, carefully custom framed to highlight the artistry and charm of historic lettering design. Sourced in Paris, this page was once part of a working reference book used by artisans who specialized in monograms — including jewelers, calligraphers, engravers, and stationers.

Before digital design, craftsmen relied on books like these as visual libraries. Each page showcased decorative initials and symbols that could be adapted for jewelry engraving, wedding papers, bookplates, silver, linens, or personal seals. These monogram books were essential studio tools, not decorative prints, which makes surviving examples especially meaningful today.

This piece has been beautifully framed in a soft neutral cream mat that allows each design to stand out while preserving the warmth and age of the original paper beneath. The frame measures 15.25 x 12.25 inches and is ready to hang or display.

A striking combination of graphic design, personal history, and European craftsmanship — perfect for collectors, designers, Francophiles, or anyone drawn to typography and old-world detail.

Truly one of a kind.
