Restoration

In addition to the production of new bindings, we have developed a service for repair and restoration of old buildings, using traditional skills and hand craftsmanship.

Bindings that have protected books for hundreds of years are empathetically and skilfully restored using only archival sound materials. We only use the finest calf and goat skin leathers which will again protect your book for many years to come.

In restoring your book we preserve as much as is possible of the books individual contemporary style, and preserve as much as is possible of its original boards, marbled paper sides, spine and end papers.

To recreate the original decorative patterned spine or redesign a missing spine; the client can choose from our extensive range of and tools or, we can on client's behalf have gold tooling devices manufactured from a local company.
