With their open-air displays of books, prints, and ephemera, the bouquinistes have long been part of the romance and literary character of Paris—making this an especially charming piece for a book lover or Francophile.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSet against rich blue silk and presented behind glass in a modern 5” x 7” gold bamboo-style frame, this piece creates a beautiful marriage of old and new.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRather than covering the edges with a traditional mat, I intentionally floated each postcard against the blue silk so its original perforated edges and individual nuances remain visible. Slightly uneven margins, gently jagged edges, and imperfect symmetry are all part of its age and history—little details that make each piece completely unique.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePerfect for displaying on a bookshelf, tucked into a gallery wall, layered on an easel, or given as a thoughtful gift.
