Antique stationery

Writing like in ancient Rome and Egypt

What an experience! Antique, hand-made papyrus from Egypt or a genuine antique quill, parchment made from goat or sheep skin and an economical alternative to a notebook: the Roman wax tablet and matching Roman writing pens.

Quote:
"Telling the truth is the same as writing beautifully. This is only achieved by practice, it is less a matter of will than of habit, and I do not think it would be useless to take every opportunity to opportunity to manifest and form this habit."

Marc Aurelius (121 - 180) - Translation, edited by Dr. E. H. Schmitt and Dr. A. Skarva

Genuine busts replicas from bygone eras

Antique busts of the Egyptians, Romans or Greeks can be found in public galleries and museums all over the world. To own an antique bust is to own a replica.

Replicas of busts from antiquity are deceptively real replicas. The busts stand on a pedestal or are mounted on a flat base. Contemporary replicas of ancient busts are also made from a variety of materials, often including (technical) plastics and plaster.

Plaster models, in particular, can be hand-painted with colours of one's own choice after the cast has been made. If the replica is made of bronze or copper, the client can choose between a polished or matt finish. Nowadays, busts are also mass-produced using precise 3D techniques and special printing processes.

Less common are handcrafted replicas of antique busts, such as those in the Roman Shop.

Roman Busts

Whether you are looking for antique statues and statuettes, busts of the great Roman emperors or detailed and lovingly crafted ceramic reliefs in various sizes and patinas, you will find what you are looking for on the following pages of the Roman Shop under the category Roman Busts and Reliefs and you will be amazed!

Roman deities such as Juno, Fortuna or Venus, the goddess of love, are waiting for your visit as statuettes of Roman deities, lovingly designed and true to detail, for your shelf or windowsill, as a magnificent bust of the emperors Augustus, Nero or Caesar, as you only know them from the museum, for your private desk, the bookshelf in the library or the entrance area of your house ... or as a decorative wall sculpture. ... or as a decorative wall sculpture for an antique-style interior or even on your terrace - take a look at our range of busts and reliefs based on historical models and let yourself be transported back to the world of antiquity!

Antique busts

Busts have always been symbols of great historical eras. Dedicated to outstanding contemporaries, they are faithful representations of the people of their time. In most cases, busts depict the person from head to chest height; full-length busts were and are very popular as public monuments and are oversized in their dimensions.

In our own country, the Hermann Monument in the Teutoburg Forest, inaugurated by the German Emperor in 1875, depicting the Cheruscan prince Arminius, who is said to have won a victory over the Roman legions under Varus in 9 AD, would be a world-famous example.

Every historical era has produced famous emperors, commanders or other rulers, heroes, prophets and gods. The common people liked to take these images in the form of busts so that they could have a place of honour and be remembered forever. In their own way, busts are a 3D image, although there were also masks, coins and paintings that portrayed rulers and gods as lifelike as possible.

Most busts are monochrome and made of different materials. Precious metals (copper, bronze, silver and gold), iron, sheet metal, clay, marble, wood and other materials were used.

However, there were also multi-coloured busts. Coloured busts are painted by hand and increase the effect on the viewer. Think of the world famous bust of Nefertiti from the 16th dynasty of the Old Kingdom of Egypt. This well-preserved bust of the wife of King Akhenaten was made from limestone, plaster and embedded crystals and painted by hand during the reign of the Pharaohs between 1336-1356 BC. It can still be admired today as a special highlight of Egyptian sculpture in the Egyptian Museum in Berlin.

The lovingly and authentically designed products from the Römer-Shop have been accompanying me for years and even decades in the field of ancient representation. As a centurion in a Roman military unit until a few years ago, the stationery, from wax tablets to papyrus scrolls, was extremely helpful for high-quality appearances and presentations at museum festivals, in reenactment and in museum education work.

Hello and thank you very much for the great products!

Our students were thrilled with the papyrus coloring pictures and the scarabs. As promised, I am sending you photos of the work with the coloring pictures. I wrote a review for the "scarab" coloring picture, but it can also be added to all the other pictures, since we had different motifs.

The card is easy to work with and the cardboard is sturdy enough for such projects. Perhaps small cast figures and horses on a plastic base would be a useful addition to the shop, rather than the cardboard pictures. My 12-year-old son had fun making something like that

Useful information about antique stationery

Papyrus im Römer Shop

Egyptian papyrus

Papyrus was the most important material for writing on in Roman antiquity and was then, as today, still produced entirely by hand.

Papyrus bushes grew along the Nile and were used to produce the writing medium from the third millennium BC. The Greeks and Romans were convinced by the advantages of papyrus.

Even today, important documents are recorded on a papyrus roll due to the durability of the material. This is because papyrus and parchment still have the ideal characteristics of a writing medium.

And you can even make papyrus yourself! Ancient bookmarks made from it, for example. This is not just a pleasure for Roman and antiquity enthusiasts.
