This page is being used to collect information about the history of the paperfolding design I call The Hexagonal Rosette Star, which is developed from the Hexsagonal Rosette by narrowing the central flaps. Please contact me if you know any of this information is incorrect or if you have any other information that should be added. Thank you.

A thin-pointed version (The Thin-Pointed Hexagonal Rosette Star) can be made by also narrowing the outside edges of the flaps.. Both versions are recorded on this page.

As far as I know these designs first appear in an article by J Marteau in Manuel General de L'Instruction Primaire of 3rd November 1894.
