Welcome to the home of Griffen Mill Handmade Paper on the Net.

 

The Mill specialises in making fine handmade paper from natural fibres such as cotton, linen & hemp. All the papers are made to archival standards & come in subtle tones & a variety of weights.

In this catalogue you will find a great choice of antique toned papers for recreating old maps,scrolls & documents as well as papers to replace the original handmade paper lining or label when restoring antique musical instruments or furniture.

 

Because nearly all our papers are made to conserve & restore original artefacts they resemble

the original handmade papers very closely.

 

 Griffen Mill papers within the Restoration Catalogue offer a choice of weights, character & thickness and are archival in nature. Check out our brief Guide to Paper through the ages & our recommendations for which papers to use.

The conservation & repair of historic handmade wallpaper can require a handmade paper that is

unique to a particular location. During the last fifteen years Griffen Mill has worked with a number of wallpaper conservators to make handmade wallpaper which take into account unique project requirements.
