BRASS RUBBING CELTIC CIRCLE ANTIQUITIES HOME DECOR ART

This is a hand made rubbing of The Celtic Circle created with metallic gold wax crayon on a special black rag paper.I would emphasize that the paper is black, as the flash photography I used might give the impression that the paper is dark blue. A design from a page of the gospel of St. Matthew in the Book of Kells, probably the most splendid early Medieval illuminated manuscript still surviving. This design consists of five interlacing birds and ten reptiles or serpents with topknots and tails. The design is 8 1/2 inches in diameter and the paper measures 15" X 15" to allow for matting and framing.

The engraving from which this rubbing was taken is from an exhibition featured at The Washington National Cathedral by The London Brass Rubbing Centre and has more recently been on a National tour as part of their brass rubbing workshop. Rubbings like this one, hand made by one of their craft instructors, make unusual and interesting gifts. I will send it to you rolled up in a strong postal tube. It can be hung either from wooden dowels or matted and framed under glass. Shipping and handling charges include insurance cover during transit. I would be pleased to offer a combined shipping price if you decide to order more than one rubbing from our collection and they can be rolled in the same mailing tube.
