subject: Take A Journey In Time And Space With A Tram Scroll [print this page] Its human nature to feel nostalgic about the past. Certain events always stand out as special in our minds, and it often takes only a reminder to bring the memory to the fore. Many of the important events in our lives occur while we are travelling, whether it is simply going to work or the theatre, or on a trip around the world. One great way of jarring your memory and bringing back an eventful moment is with wall art from Tram Scrolls. A part of life from the 1920s through the psychedelic 60s, authentic tram scrolls preserve some of the worlds most colourful past.
Trams, or streetcars, once provided most of the transportation for people in cities around the world. Trams were a vital part of city life, and although they have disappeared from most places, it seems unlikely that they will be soon forgotten. Used often as tourist attractions, trams are still major means of transportation in Vienna, Austria and Eastern Europe. Authentic tram scrolls will add a bit of history and perspective to your home, and their clean black and white appearance will fit in with any furnishings. Australia itself had many tram lines, powered by steam, cable, or electricity.
If you are not a strict traditionalist, you can also design a personalised tram scroll. This can commemorate a journey you took in a foreign country, your usual route through your home city, or even an important event in your life, such as meeting the person of your dreams. A look at some of the recently made custom tram scroll designs, will show you just how flexible we at Tram Scrolls can be.
Tram scrolls also make ideal gifts for friends and relations. These are people with whom we travel lifes journey, so sharing a bit of your time together with one of these scrolls will give your gift more meaning. Providing corporate gifts is often a very sticky project, but a tram scroll for the city where the headquarters is located and any branch offices can solve this problem in a tasteful and clever manner.
While its true that most tram scrolls were produced with white lettering on a black background, we offer a much wider range of colours and lettering styles than might have been available on the original scroll. You will also be able to choose between Multi-font, Coloured effect, Provincial, or Contemporary Style, among others. A set of Beige & Brown Colour tram scrolls, flanking a fireplace would make the perfect dcor statement in a traditional Queenslander or Boom Style home.
In keeping with the practical and everyday concept behind tram scrolls, the artisans here use a slightly coarser canvas for their prints. This preserves the texture and feel of the original tram scrolls, and makes for a much more authentic look than would be possible were the scroll printed on a smoother canvas or on paper. You can enjoy your tram scroll in a small, medium, or large size, and can choose to have it framed by us, or sent to you unframed. We use native hardwoods, specially beveled for our framing.
