- Both harpsichords and Baroque guitars had soundholes decorated with roses. The material used for this decoration might surprise you: multiple layers of parchment, made from sheep's skin. See how the many layers come together in this video featuring Elena Dal Cortivo, a master rose maker.
This video is one of a series created with videographer, Gavin Turnball, for use in our 'Discovery Drawers' in the Wolfson Gallery at St Cecilia's Hall.
This really quite amazing! Thank you!!
Glad you liked it! It is such a fascinating process.
So do you leave the paper design glued to the parchment?
Thanks, all the best!
beautiful work! what do you use for the cutting board?
Beautiful! What kind of paper do you use? I am just trying to do my first rose.
The maker used parchment paper, which is made of specially prepared untanned skins of animals-primarily sheep, calves, and goats. Some roses are also made of vellum - a finer quality of parchment made from young animal skins. You can find suppliers of parchment from various online retailers. For example www.williamcowley.co.uk/ is a good place to start.
Thank you, for your answer. I am fighting with pear veneer and different kind of paper trying to make the simplest possible rosette (Jacquemart-André vihuela) and nothing acceptable comes out it, but I am not giving up yet.
