Romantic In A Medieval Stylee

Among the familiar gallery of meticulously carved Celtic pots and Dragon Box there are some interesting new additions at www.sharpe-designs.com

The 'dragonesque' range of clothing was added to the website in September.
These stunning vampy designs have a timeless appeal with a wide range of customers, evoking a romantic, medieval, witchy, style.

One of the most sought after items is the romantic silk lined hooded velvet cloak which stirs passionate images of historical heroines.

Made by the Jordash and Dark Star labels, the quality of the design and production is excellent and we feel that they have produced a classic collection.

A range of unusual gemstone and unique geode jewellery compliments the clothing. The large gemstones in unusual settings and stunning colour change titanium drusy geode jewellery just has to be seen.

In keeping with the romantic theme, new introductions also include a range of beautifully authentic illuminated prints and scrolls with Irish blessings and toasts for all occasions. The originals are hand crafted using medieval techniques to prepare the vellum and the paints. The quality of these prints and scrolls with meticulous attention to detail and finished with a wax seal signature, is really impressive, a top quality product.

The medieval influence is found in the birthday prints based on the Doctrine of Signatures, which became part of medical thinking, founded on the four pillars of philosophy, astronomy, alchemy, and virtue, from the middle of the seventeenth century when many practitioners listed the various trees, shrubs, herbs and flowers and their ruling planets. These beautifully detailed and coloured prints are composed of the constellation and a tree, herb shrub and flower for each star sign.

The Curious Celtic Collection has an earlier influence, Curvilinear, or Insular British Art which is a very beautiful and distinctive form of Celtic Art which flourished through the 1st century BC until the 1st century AD and is seen on torcs, shields and harness fittings.

Sharpe Designs is a gallery of unique, inspired and carefully crafted designs, inspired by their historical origins and representations of  eternity, infinity, harmony and the spiral of life. A collection of unusual gifts that are beautifully detailed and offer you something that is just a little bit different.
