Copies. - "The Savoy Hours, or rather the part of them that has remained after almost 600 years, delights the viewer with the most marvelous book illumination. Wonderful colors, sparkling gold, elegant proportions. In the 50 miniatures, delicate figures act against varied backgrounds decorated with golden grids, lines, diamonds, tendrils and squares. They were created by the workshop successor of the famous Parisian illuminator Jean Pucelle. Book art that still fascinates and arouses desire today! As a bibliophile book object, the Savoy Hours come in a gold-embossed robe - "the most magnificent fragment of a lost masterpiece" (Roger S. Wieck, The Morgan Library & Museum, New York). - As new copy.
