  1. Art Of Marbling

  2. ShortHistory of Art of Marbling • The art of marbling (or marbleizing) was started in the 1100's, either in Turkey or Persia, though the earliest marbled papers still in existence are Turkish ones from the 1400's. They were used for decorative purposes, and also as a background for official documents and signatures, to prevent erasure and forgery.

  3. Then, marblingbecametheessentialpart of bookbinding, with the papers being placed on the inside covers of all fine books, which is still one of the main uses of marbling today.

  4. InIstanbulthere is a few wonderful marblers still work there using the ancient handed-down formulas.

  5. Marbling is a fun art; there is such an infinite variety of patterns and color combinations that it never gets boring.

  6. Besides bookbinding, marbled papers can be used for picture framing, placemats, notecards, desk sets, collages, origami, lampshades, and for covering just about anything such as boxes and cans. Marbling on fabric was never very satisfactory until recent years, until the development of acrylic paints. The traditional marbling inks were just not durable enough to stand up to washing.
