Perry Linocraft Lino Cutting Set Vintage Boxed Printmaking Tools Wood Handle Kit

A beautifully preserved vintage linocut printing set by Perry Linocraft, complete with original box, tools, and printed design sheets.

There is something quietly satisfying about this piece, the smooth turned wooden handles, the weight of the metal nibs, the bold graphic bird designs tucked beneath. It feels both practical and nostalgic, a working kit and a visual object all at once.

The set includes multiple lino cutting tools with interchangeable blades, each with a warm honey-toned wooden handle and brass ferrule. The original packaging remains, with its bold mid-century graphics in blue, orange, and cream, marked Perry & Co Ltd, London and Birmingham.

Inside are printed lino design sheets, including a striking black bird perched on a branch, graphic and almost modernist in feel. The contrast between the clean printed designs and the worn outer box gives it that perfect balance of use and age.

Condition is good vintage. The tools are clean and usable. The box shows visible wear, scuffs, and marks consistent with age, particularly to the lid where there is loss to the printed surface. Interior remains tidy and well kept.

A lovely piece for:
printmakers
artists
studio styling
or as a display object for a creative workspace

There is real charm here, not just in function but in the story of making.
