Example of Rare Book Work

Recent email and pictures from a customer of over 20 years - Wes Baker His specialty is with high end rare book collectors This a representation done with gold leaf and albumen on our Levante. This is the tradittonal method of book binding, exceedingly difficult Steve,   This leather took dye flawlessly. It pared flawlessly. It pasted up just as well. I couldn’t have asked for a better skin to tool.   I don’t often call you to remark about leather, but I did say that if you could make every skin’s chemistry you sell like this one, you’d own the bookbinding leather world. Hands down. It’s that easy at every step.   On a scale of 1 to 10, it pegs out right around the 15 mark. - Wes "Here’s the box. I’m not quite finished polishing the front or rear boards. This was Sir Humphrey Davy’s copy, and the customer has decided to make a block with his signature and inset on the front board….. So, I’ll get everything pristine, “shiny” after that...   Anyway, you get the idea of the goatskin. Hewit aniline dyed/fixed. 5 pieces of leather required to cover this folio. Tooled (with egg white albumen) through 23 kt. gold leaf. All over 5mm Scandinavian, 5mm birch plywood. I normally lined out the chemise with Suedel. Customer wanted 19th-century marbled. (Customer drove to have me measure the book. So that’s why you see the wooden form representing the book in one shot.)   1147 Huntingdon Road, Winston-Salem, NC 27104 Email- sa...@siegelleather.com
