Rossi 1931 is family owned and operated paper making company in Florence, Italy - operating since 1931.
These unique Italian designs, dating from the fifteenth and sixteenth century, are printed on high quality soft paper.
This entire collection is made with the family's traditional letterpress.
Developed in the 14th century, letterpress printing involves setting type and motifs in reverse on a letterpress plate.
The plate is then inked and pressed on to the surface of the paper.
The pressing process transfers the ink and leaves a deep impression on the paper creating a three-dimensional print that has a feel unlike any other type of printing.
The nature of the printing demands high quality, and generally heavier weight, paper that will not tear or thin when pressed.
Created with a perfect type of paper containing fibers that are soft and readily accept an impression as well as ink.
As you might expect, letterpress printing is both time consuming and labor-intensive.
Prints are made one-at-a-time with each print having its own unique variations of ink coverage and depth of impression.
The cards and envelopes are very handsome. I am proud to use them for my correspondence.
United StatesMy experience has been wonderful. Thanks for the lollypop by the way. I knew what I had ordered for I have bought similar pieces in Rome. The packaging was proper for the box was the appropriate size and there was not extra stuffing so the environmental awareness pleased me. I have bought the note cards and the writing paper for presents for next year so I cannot share how they were received. Thank you for offering beautiful items and for sending them in a proper manner.

United StatesTwo summers ago in Florence we found a stationary shop with lovely products. We purchased some note cards and used the last one just a few weeks ago. With so many messages for friends during the pandemic, we wanted to write something that was both personal and on beautiful cards. That's when we discovered Letter Seals and we are thrilled with our purchase of the Florentine Note Cards. We're also very pleased to know we can find them online and don't have to wait for our next visit to Florence to find them! Thanks so much!
