About This Design

First postage stamp - Tuscany (1851) Throw Blanket

First postage stamp - Tuscany (1851) Throw Blanket

Wrap yourself in the storied history of the Italian Renaissance with this premium First Postage Stamp Tuscany (1851) Throw Blanket. This unique home accessory features an enlarged, high-definition reproduction of the first postage stamp issued by the Grand Duchy of Tuscany (Granducato di Toscana) on April 1, 1851. The design showcases the legendary Marzocco, the heraldic lion of Florence, resting its paw on the shield of the Giglio (lily). This symbol represented the strength and sovereignty of the Tuscan state under Grand Duke Leopold II. The intricate details of the vintage typography and the weathered, antique texture of the original stamp are beautifully preserved, creating a piece of functional art that speaks to the sophistication of mid-19th-century Europe. Crafted from incredibly soft and cosy material, this throw blanket is perfect for adding a touch of old-world European charm to your living room, study, or bedroom. The high-quality printing process ensures that the earthy tones and philatelic details remain vibrant and sharp over time. Whether you are a dedicated stamp collector (philatelist), a fan of Italian history, or a traveller who has fallen in love with the rolling hills of Tuscany, this blanket is a conversation-starting tribute to one of the world's most beautiful regional postal histories. It makes a thoughtful and unique gift for historians, Italophiles, or anyone who appreciates the intersection of classic design and comfort.

I ordered an art deco sofa pillow in the design shown. I wanted a woven throw in that design as well, but they had quit making anything but fleece throws (which I didn't want). I kept in touch with the designer (she is in England, I'm in USA) and she talked with Zazzle. When they began making woven throws again, I jumped on it and ordered this! When I received it, it was about commemorating someone's 100th birthday - not at all what I ordered. I talked with Zazzle and the designer and the problem was quickly rectified. They didn't even ask that I return the original wrong throw. This throw is beautiful, matches the pillow perfectly, and is just what I wanted. Emms Childs, the designer, was delightful to work with and Zazzle gave great customer service - very professional, prompt and kind to replace it quickly and not require me to return the incorrect one. It is crisp with the colors true to the photo. Excellent.

Creator Review
A beautiful small blanket that is perfect for covering your legs while curled up in front of the fire, or for a decorative touch on the sofa. We also think it looks brilliant as a Christmas table centerpiece. We are delighted with it. The colors are absolutely perfect. Vibrant yet traditional. The pattern retains its lovely details despite the texture of the fabric. Very classy product that will not disappoint as a gift.
