We ensure that we retain as much of the original book as possible and can even rebind books whilst retaining the original covers and spines if they are able to be preserved. The majority of our work is done by hand using traditional bookbinding methods and 23.5ct gold leaf.
Below are some detailed examples of our work:
See example 1 - The covers and spine had come apart from the main binding of this Victorian Bible. We were able to reattach the original covers and spine whilst reinforcing the binding so it will be preserved for many years to come.

Sometimes old books deteriorate to such a degree that some covers and spines are not able to be saved. In this instance we will rebind in a style sympathetic to the era of the original. See example 2, the cover could not be saved therefore we have replaced the entire cover in a style sympathetic to the age of this book.

If the cover is completely missing we will rebind in a style most suitable to the period of the original binding or to the customers requirements. See example 3, we have rebound this book in a completely new binding with leather spine and corners and a cloth cover. The spine is very detailed with gold panels known as a full run up gilt back.
